Reaction from Ecologists as well
The Ecologists 'Movement - Citizens' Cooperation also expressed their reaction through today's announcement. According to the announcement, the "authorities" of occupied Famagusta, as they had been planning for a long time, seem to proceed with the opening of part of the beach inside the enclosed city for economic exploitation, with the exclusive use of Turks and permanent residents of the pseudo-state.
The decision, the announcement continues, is a direct challenge, not only to the refugees in the region, who have always been denied, even when they ask to visit their property, but also to the entire Cypriot people.
The movement states, according to the announcement, that this decision should be annulled immediately. At the same time, we point out to our Turkish Cypriot compatriots that the time has long come for them to decide for themselves whether they seek to live with their Greek Cypriot compatriots or with Turkey. These are two diametrically opposed options.
