The Turkish Cypriot politician Albay Durduran presented yesterday in the meeting of Cypriot parties at the Ledra Palace a frame of eight proposals of real measures for the creation of confidence. The measures were agreed at the last meeting of the Secretary General of the Cyprus Green Party Mr. George Perdikes and the Secretary General of the Tourkish Cypriot Party “New Cyprus” Mr. Murat Kanatli at 31st March 2008.
The measures are:
1) Demilitarisation of within the walled Nicosia immediately, the entire Nicosia as soon as possible.
2) To stop the entry of new weapons to the island and enable its active control.
3) The distancing of military forces (de confrontation) in the buffer zone from each other, as a main aim pulling the forces in the north at a distance equivalent to the forces in the south.
4) Demilitarisation of Varosha immediately and its allocation to housing the legitimated owners.
5) Making necessary arrangements so that Maronites return their prior to 1974 settlements and demilitarisation of these settlements.
6) Initiation of the required operations to dissolve the Turkish Cypriot and Greek Cypriot Armies.
7) Making an agenda for withdrawal of the foreign armed forces and immediately starting the necessary work for its implementation.
8) Immediate opening of all crossing points (like Lefka, Famagusta Gate (Nicosia), Athienou) especially those of Tylliria area.
Mr. Perdikes suggested the adoption of Durdurans proposals and their submission to the two leaders and the technical committees. Unfortunately the meeting did not lead to the unanimous support of the eight proposals that Mr. Durduran presented.
