The House of Representatives considers the conduct of an objective,
reliable, and independent inquiry over the blast incident in the Naval
Base ``Evangelos Florakis`` as its immediate and urgent priority, House
President Yiannakis Omirou said Thursday.
Speaking during the plenary session of the House, where MPs observed a
minutes` silence to the memory of the blast victims, Omirou noted that
this inquiry needs to be conducted rapidly and needs to satisfy the
people`s sense of justice.
``Understandably, our people feel the shock, indignation and anger for
this tragedy`` the House President noted.
He went on by saying that ``Cyprus is going through one of its worst
crises in its modern history``, adding that it is necessary to join
forces, in order to alleviate human suffering and support the families
of the victims.
Moreover, he said that collective commitment is necessary in addressing
the dramatic financial consequences of the blast and reinstating
people`s confidence towards state institutions.
