Declaration
Türkiye’s decision to become a party to the Convention on Road Signs and Signals, and its supplements, should in no way be construed as implying any form of recognition of the Greek Cypriot Administration’s pretention to represent the “Republic of Cyprus”, nor as implying any obligation on the part of Türkiye to enter into any dealing with authorities or institutions of the so-called “Republic of Cyprus” within the framework of the activities specified in the said Convention and its supplements.

Bezwaar Cyprus, 26-04-2024

The Republic of Cyprus has examined the Declaration deposited by the Republic of Türkiye on 17 May 2023, upon accession to the European Agreement supplementing the Convention on Road Signs and Signals (1971), and notes that such a declaration is not in conformity with the Agreement.
By means of the submitted Declaration, Türkiye purports to release itself of the obligation to cooperate with other States Parties within the framework of the European Agreement supplementing the Convention on Road Signs and Signals. Moreover, in its Declaration Türkiye puts forward, once again, the untenable position concerning the non-recognition of the Republic of Cyprus, a member of, among others, the United Nations and the European Union.
In the view of the Republic of Cyprus, the Declaration of Türkiye is compatible neither with Article 11 of the European Agreement supplementing the Convention on Road Signs and Signals nor the object and purpose thereof given that the allegations contained therein are irrelevant to the content of the Agreement.
In light of the above, it is the position of the Republic of Cyprus that the content and purported effect of this Declaration submitted by the Republic of Türkiye is in contravention of the European Agreement supplementing the Convention on Road Signs and Signals.
The Republic of Cyprus, therefore, rejects the aforementioned Declaration made by the Republic of Türkiye, which cannot in any way affect the obligations of the Republic of Türkiye towards the Republic of Cyprus both under general international law and the said Agreement and considers it null and void. The objection of the Republic of Cyprus shall not preclude the entry into force of the European Agreement supplementing the Convention on Road Signs and Signals, in its entirety, between the Republic of Cyprus and the Republic of Türkiye.

Bezwaar Griekenland, 22-05-2024

The Hellenic Republic has examined the declaration made by the Republic of Türkiye upon accession, on 17 May 2023, to the European Agreement supplementing the Convention on Road Signs and Signals (1971) (“the Agreement”).
The Republic of Türkiye inter alia declares that its accession to the Agreement does not imply any obligation on the part of Türkiye to enter into any dealing with authorities or institutions of the Republic of Cyprus within the framework of the activities specified in the said Agreement.
The Government of the Hellenic Republic reiterates its view that the above declaration amounts to a reservation, as it purports to exclude the application of the Agreement in its entirety between Türkiye and another State Party, i.e. the Republic of Cyprus. In addition, the untenable position put forward by Türkiye concerning the non-recognition of the Republic of Cyprus, a member of, among others, the United Nations and the European Union, is neither relevant to nor compatible with the content of the Agreement, its object and purpose.
Therefore, the Hellenic Republic objects to the declaration in question.
This objection does not preclude the entry into force of the Agreement between the Hellenic Republic and the Republic of Türkiye.
