[01] Famagusta Municipality organizes anti-occupation rally
Famagusta Municipality has asked the support of Famagusta citizens,
other refugees and all the people of Cyprus requesting, through the
town's Mayor Alexis Galanos, their presence at the anti-occupation rally
to take place on August 3 in Dherynia village, which borders the Turkish
occupied town of Famagusta.
Speaking to the press about the rally under the slogan "Famagusta Now",
to be addressed by Cyprus President Nicos Anastasiades, Galanos noted
that recently there has been some movement on the issue of Famagusta
both at the US and on a European level, with the linking of the opening
of chapters 23 and 24 in the EU accession negotiations with Turkey with
the Cyprus problem and particularly the issue of Famagusta.
"We address the issue of Famagusta, despite the difficulties and the huge
financial problems of the country, with optimism," he noted and added that
"there is great sensitivity" in Europe on the issue of Famagusta.
