[01] House President visits military facilities
The President of the House of Representatives, Mr. Demetris Christofias,
visited, at the beginning of this week, military facilities in Nicosia and
conveyed Christmas greetings to the soldiers.
Mr. Christofias told soldiers that the State was making sure that their
military service was as pleasant as possible, and called upon them to view
their service in a spirit of patriotism, free of stress.
The House President took the opportunity of his visit to extend the
greetings to the leadership and all members of the National Guard.
He pledged to make every effort towards the attainment of a peaceful
reunification of Cyprus, so that Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots could
coexist in harmony and create a common future within the structures of the
European Union.
He also voiced hope that the Turkish leadership would reassess its
partitionist philosophy and intransigent stance, in order to make room for
a substantive dialogue to take place, on the basis of the UN peace plan,
with a view at reaching a viable and functioning solution of the Cyprus
problem.
