“Last night in Nicosia, at a moving event to mark the 50th anniversary of the coup in Cyprus and the Turkish invasion and occupation, Kyriakos Mitsotakis was, as the President of the Republic of Cyprus, Nikos Christodoulidis, pointed out, the first Greek Prime Minister who was present, on the day of the black anniversary. The Prime Minister clearly reiterated the national positions: We do not accept fait accompli, our aim is to have a Republic of Cyprus with one sovereignty, one international personality and one citizenship in a Bizonal Bicommunal Federation, in a single State, without a foreign army of occupation, without anachronistic guarantees”. says, in his post on the internet, the government representative, Pavlos Marinakis.

“The fact that we are discussing with Turkey does not mean that we agree and much more that we are backing down. The opposite. And that every threat to Cyprus becomes a threat to the entire EU. It is obvious that these views are shared and expressed, in their entirety, by all members of the Greek Government. Therefore, those who try to discover alleged divisions between the government officials are in vain”, underlined Mr. Marinakis.
