He warned Turkey that its threats against Cyprus' entry into the EU would backfire and renewed his call to the Turkish Cypriots to work together with the Greek Cypriots towards the country's integration into the European family. The President said he would continue to boost the country's defences as long as there is no political settlement. He expressed deep appreciation to Greece for its invaluable support and thanked all overseas Cypriots and Greeks for their contribution to the struggle of the people of Cyprus for justice. President Clerides pledged his government's continuous support to all those who are still enduring the effects of the 1974 Turkish invasion, and referred in particular to the enclaved who live in the northern Turkish occupied areas and the relatives of missing persons. "It is my conviction that the overwhelming majority of ordinary citizens, Greek and Turkish Cypriots, believe in the need to reunite our island through an agreement that will safeguard the political rights of both communities and the human rights of all Cypriots and allay their fears with regard to their security," the President said in his televised address. "It is now up to the will of the political leadership to help realize this wish," he said. Cyprus News Agency: News in English Directory - Previous Article - Next Article |
