Today marks 40 years since the illegal and unilateral declaration of the pseudo-state, which has been condemned by United Nations Security Council Resolutions 541/1983 and 550/1984.
On this sad anniversary, Greece underscores the necessity of all states fully complying with the Resolutions of the Security Council in accordance with international legitimacy. These Resolutions call upon all countries to refrain from recognizing or in any way assisting the illegal entity in the occupied part of Cyprus.
Greece will never accept the fait accompli of the Turkish invasion and occupation. In full coordination with the Republic of Cyprus, Greece works systematically to create the conditions that will lead to a just, viable, functional, and mutually acceptable solution within the framework of the United Nations Security Council Resolutions.

it is way more complicated than that.
Yes, that's always the excuse of the invader. The truth is that, today, there's one country with 2 official languages and a Turkish occupation authority cosplaying as a country that only has 1.
There's 75 years of history in that conflict. Very few Cypriots nowadays deny that it is more complicated than that, and this does not have to excuse the invader.
There's no reason to lose all nuance over the Cyprus problem, it's doing no-one in Cyprus a favour - and if someone wants to use the Cyprus Problem entirely as a rhetorical tool to fight a different conflict, then that's in extremely bad taste.
All that being said, the unilateral declaration of independence was the biggest mistake of the Turkish Cypriot political class, since it doomed any efforts to collaborate across the green line due to the fear of "accidental recognition" - and at the same time any recognition of that declaration is not forthcoming because of how profoundly and transparently illegal it was.
