The Cypriot Chamber of Commerce and Industry made a clarifying statement today after the caustic announcement issued last Monday, directly accusing the Mayor of Paralimni, Theodoros Pyrillis, of lying in his statements to the media.
In its announcement, the CCCI clarifies that “The entrepreneur / company mentioned (in the announcement dated January 2, 2019) He is not currently a partner of the Mayor of Paralimni but he was a partner with him in the past, before Mr. Pyrillis was elected to the position of Mayor of Paralimni. "
In its announcement, the CCCI also informs that "All its missions abroad are open to participate in any business / entrepreneurs they wish, whether they are Members of the Chambers or not and no distinction is made between entrepreneurs."

It is recalled that last Wednesday the CCCI issued caustic announcement going on the counterattack regarding the statements of the Mayor of Paralimni in relation to the marginalization of the province of Famagusta in the appointments of Ministers.
The announcement of the CCCI in detail (2/1/2019):
"On the occasion of the TV appearances of the Mayor of Paralimni Mr. Theodoros Pyrillis during the festive three days and what he said publicly, the CCCI feels the need to make the following clarifying announcement:
1) The KEVE does not interfere and does not take part in the procedures for the appointment of Ministers but always respects and cooperates harmoniously with those elected by the President of the Republic of Cyprus exercising his inalienable constitutional right.
2) The Mayor of Paralimni is LIE when he says that "Companies from the Famagusta Free Zone are excluded from any Business Missions organized by the CCCI in collaboration with the Ministry of Energy, Commerce & Industry" and when he says that the Missions ”.
He is lying because he is well aware that even his partner has participated in the last two KEVE missions in Kuwait and Israel under the Foreign Minister and President of the Republic of Cyprus respectively.
3) He also LIES when he says that "there are criteria for selecting participants" because such a thing does not exist !!!
We call on Mr. Pyrillis to respect his figure because people who hold public office must be very careful and well-informed and certainly avoid being deliberately lied to when making public statements.
Finally, the CCCI informs the companies of the Famagusta Free Zone that wish to participate in the Missions that will be organized in 2019 to follow the relevant announcements and the CCCI website and to declare their participation either through the Local Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Famagusta or directly through the CCCI. ”
