DISY President Averof Neophytou stated that it is not enough to open roadblocks after 43 years but what is desirable is to reunite our divided homeland and to support the President of the Republic Nikos Anastasiadis in his efforts to have further convergences to come Turkey at the table where it will be judged whether it has the real political will.
Speaking after a visit to the Deryneia roadblock, accompanied by a DISY delegation and the Mayor of Deryneia Andros Karagiannis, he said that he was in Deryneia with his associates, “and we are experiencing once again, after 43 years, the accomplishments of the invasion.
"In order to reach Famagusta, we must avoid u-turns and always look ahead knowing the difficulties, knowing that until today the Cyprus issue has not been resolved due to the lack of political will on the part of Turkey. "But we must stay focused," he said.
He said that the residents are waiting for the roadblock to open and we want to believe that it will open as soon as possible. But for us it is not enough, after 43 years it is not enough to open roadblocks, After 43 years for us, what is desirable is to reunite our divided homeland. To support President Anastasiadis in his efforts to have further convergences to come Turkey at the table where it will be judged whether it has the real political will.
For decades, he said, he has been visiting the free areas, Deryneia, the buildings of the Municipality of Famagusta here at the Cultural Center. For how many more years will we hold magnifying glasses to see a city that was supposed to be the city of our dreams, to remain a ghost town. DISY, its leadership and I personally, will remain steadfast and very stable in the only political line that can have results. And there is no second, only through dialogue to try to reduce Turkish intransigence.
Asked why there is an obstacle in the opening of the roadblock, Mr. Neophytou said that he could not say why. They should have been completed a long time ago. I hope, he added, after the delays, that the roadblock here in Deryneia here on Famagusta Avenue will open, but for me it is not enough. It is not enough to open roadblocks after 43 years.
Commenting on whether he disagrees with the solemn opening of roadblocks, Mr. Neophytou said the opposite. I understand and I support and alas, as soon as possible. But I say that I will not compromise because they are opening roadblocks, I have fulfilled the national goal. I will fulfill the national goal to feel nationally dignified when I live in a united homeland without even open roadblocks.
Moreover, welcoming the President of DISY on Famagusta Avenue, "next to the roadblock of Deryneia, next to the barbed wire and next to the occupied Kato Deryneia and Famagusta", the Mayor of Deryneia said that as the Municipality of Deryneia, we κ and Τ / κ who are wondering where are the procedures for opening the roadblock of Deryneia ”.
"We are looking forward to the opening of the Deryneia roadblock as well as the return of the enclosed area of Famagusta and the resolution of the Cyprus problem," he said.
Deryneia, he continued, will continue to support any efforts made to resolve the Cyprus issue and for a better future for our Cyprus.
