Objection to the declaration of the Republic of Türkiye received on 13 April 2023:
[…] and in reference to the Note Verbale dated 16 March 2023 (and reissued on 4 April
2023) informing of the deposition by the Republic of Türkiye of an instrument of accession
to the aforementioned Joint Convention and of the declarations attached to it, has
the honor to submit a declaration, as follows: ‘The Republic of Cyprus has examined
the Declaration attached to the instrument of accession deposited by the Republic
of Türkiye with the Depositary of the Joint Convention on the Safety of Spent Fuel
Management and on the Safety of Radioactive Waste Management on 20 February 2023,
which includes explicit reference to the Republic of Cyprus. The Republic of Cyprus
deems the content and purported effect of this Declaration as tantamount to a reservation
contrary to the object and purpose of the Convention. By this Declaration, the Republic
of Türkiye purports to evade its obligations under the Convention vis-à-vis another
equal and sovereign State Party, namely the Republic of Cyprus. Indeed, the Declaration
prevents the realization of cooperation between State Parties foreseen by the Convention.
Particularly, given the geographical proximity of the two State Parties, the Declaration
is considered as a serious impediment to the effective implementation of provisions
of the Convention by the affected State Parties. The Republic of Cyprus therefore
rejects the aforesaid Declaration made by the Republic of Türkiye and considers the
said Declaration to be null and void. These reservations of the Republic of Türkiye
shall not preclude the application of the Convention, in its entirety, between the
Republic of Cyprus and the Republic of Türkiye.[…]

Türkiye will implement the provisions of the Joint Convention on the Safety of Spent
Fuel Management and on the Safety of Radioactive Waste Management in accordance with
the Convention Regarding the Regime of the Turkish Straits, signed in Montreux on
20 July 1936, as well as by taking into account 1998 Maritime Traffic Regulations
for the Turkish Straits. Under the said Regulations, Turkish Straits Vessel Traffic
Services Center is effectively providing traffic information, navigational assistance
and traffic organisation in order to ensure the safety of navigation and to protect
the marine environment in the Straits. Türkiye's decision to become a party to the
Joint Convention on the Safety of Spent Fuel Management and on the Safety of Radioactive
Waste Management 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 obligations 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.
With the Presidential Decision dated 14/8/2019 and numbered 1426, published at the
Official Gazette dated 15/8/2019 and numbered 30859, the "Maritime Traffic Regulations
for the Turkish Straits" was revoked and "Maritime Traffic By-law for the Turkish
Straits" was put into force.
