We support the decision made by President Anastasiades to continue his effort with the Turkish Cypriot leader Mustafa Akinci. To this direction, our support towards the Greek government is indispensable.
The Cyprus dispute is to be treated with immediately, based on the bizonal, bicommunal federation. Any delay, let alone a deadlock of the negotiations, would lead to further establishment of the de facto division, while international correlations will worsen, given the assumption of power by Donald Trump. Therefore, we support the decision made by President Anastasiades to continue his effort with the Turkish Cypriot leader Mustafa Akinci. To this direction, our support towards the Greek government is indispensable. Unfortunately, it seems that the recent interference of the Minister of Foreign Affairs has been to the opposite direction.
We urge the democratic political forces of our country to support the effort made by President Nicos Anastasiades and the other leaders of the Republic of Cyprus. We urge them to act in prudence and realism, overcoming the pernicious belief on the political cost of their stance. Besides, Greek governments have always acknowledged, and must continue to do so, the principle that Cyprus is the decision-maker, whereas Greece has a supportive role.
