Christofias was commenting on press reports that the EU Finnish Presidency is working on a proposal envisaging that the fenced-off area of Famagusta should be put under UN administration, in return for the opening of port of the occupied city under EU administration and the opening of Turkish ports for Cypriot ships.

``I would consider this as a violation of the principles of the EU,`` Christofias said during a press conference.

Christofias also spoke of a ``warm Autumn or Winter`` regarding the issues concerning relations between Turkey and Greece, noting that ``we will have developments which will be difficult.``
