Intense concern on the developments on the Cyprus problem

The political committee of Cyprus Green Party having studied the latest developments occurred from the meeting of President Christofias with Mr. Talat and their common announcement and having in mind the briefing of the party’s Secretary General, Mr. George Perdikis, expresses its intense concern for the future of the Cyprus issue.

The intense concern was created due to the inclusion of different terms and statements in the common announcement. These terms are considered very risky as we are certain that they will be used by the permanently deceitful Turkish side and the well known involved countries which are always supporting Turkey despite the honest willingness of President Christofias.

Besides all above, we consider that the non inclusion of statements concerning the important facts of the Cyprus problem, such as the settlers, properties, security and guarantees and focusing on every day matters, are creating a negative environment for the negotiations which cannot allow us to be optimistic.

The Cyprus Green Party calls President Christofias to continue the resistance to the unacceptable demands of Mr. Talat and to avoid direct negotiations before real progress is obtained by the committees and especially by the working groups. We also ask President Christofias to insist on the principles of the solution of the Cyprus problem as they have been expressed by him during the pre-election period.

In this difficult attempt, the Cyprus Green Party will stand and support President Christofias in an effort to obtain a just, right and viable solution for the Cyprus problem.
