The unacceptable demands and announcements of Turkey will not be accepted, the President of the Republic, Nikos Anastasiadis, said on Tuesday night, speaking at the Presidential Palace, during the event for the black anniversary of the Turkish invasion of Cyprus.
He added that today's announcements from the Turkish side are a tool of human suffering and a cause of division among the Greek Cypriots, something that will not succeed, because I am sure that no Varosian would want to be an accomplice in Turkey's plans and goals.
The President of the Republic said that the Turkish President, Recep Tayyip Erdo .an, stated that "he does not look at the territories, the rights of no one". "The Turkish invasion and occupation of 37% of the territory of Cyprus, at a time when the ownership of land by the Turkish Cypriots amounted to only 14% of the territory, is not usurpation and encroachment?", Asked President Anastasiadis.
He said that this is a day of remembrance for what preceded and followed the crime of the last betrayal committed by the Greek-speaking colonels of the junta and a dragon of their accomplices in Cyprus.
She said that for 47 years, despite our continuous efforts through historic compromises and painful concessions, instead of a positive response, the only thing that has been recorded is the projection of new unacceptable demands of Turkey, invoking the law as she interprets it.
He noted that our goal is to find a solution that leads to a functioning and sustainable state, a European state that will fully respect the human and political rights of all citizens, Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots.
That is why I call on our Turkish Cypriot compatriots to realize that it is not only the fate of the Greek Cypriots that is under threat, but also their own future, he said.
This is the obligation we have to those who fought and sacrificed for the freedom, prosperity and prosperity of our country but also to the future generations of our country: To hand over a homeland with complete sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity, he noted.
A homeland, he added, a model of peaceful coexistence and cooperation between its legal inhabitants, regardless of nationality and religious beliefs and a pillar of stability in our wider region. This was the vision of our heroes, this is the expectation of the whole people
He called for keeping the spirit of resistance against injustice alive and wished good courage and good freedom.
