Iran has asked us to convey a message to Israel and we will do so, the President of the Republic of Cyprus said today, Nikos Christodoulides, noting that today he will have a telephone conversation with the Israeli prime minister, according to Sigmalive.

Mr Christodoulides also noted that Cyprus has requested the EU’s convening of the Council of Foreign Affairs to examine developments in the region.

In his statements to reporters, after the memorial service, in Spilia, and asked about the telephone communications he had yesterday with the heads of state and the President of the European Council, regarding the situation in the area and whether his telephone communications will continue, the President of the Republic would continue. Let me remind you that we were asked by Iran to convey some messages to Israel. “

“So, today I will talk to Israel’s prime minister who was scheduled for last night, but because of the disorderly situation, it could not be done. I will speak with the President of Egypt and the President of the European Commission.

Our goal is to end this situation that does not lead to any results, does not lead to resolving any difference.

From then on, in view of the G7 meeting in Canada, I have asked the President of the European Council who will represent the EU together with the President of the European Commission, such as the issue of this important session, while at the same time – I want to say it publicly – I also expressed it. We saw a joint statement that came out yesterday after a phone call with the President of the European Council, there were one or two states disagreeing with the word, and at the same time we asked the Foreign Minister to become an Extraordinary Council of Foreign Affairs.

It is not possible for the EU to claim a geopolitical role, to see all these developments and not to exist at least, it is the minimum, the convening of the Council of Foreign Ministers. Therefore, we have asked the EU through the Foreign Minister and I believe that there will be a Council of Foreign Affairs.

At the same time, it is an issue that I will discuss today with the Prime Minister of India, who is coming to Cyprus today, is a historical visit after more than 20 years, a visit that has important issues on the agenda, but of course we will also touch the situation in the region, since one of the goals of our discussions and the goals of our discussions with its discussions. Republic of Cyprus ».

Asked if as far as possible, he is pressing on countries, such as Britain, not to engage in this conflict in the region, the President of the Republic said that “it is not a matter of pressure or to prompt anyone. We have a role in the area. What characterizes the Republic of Cyprus? The Republic of Cyprus is characterized by the fact that it speaks with all countries in the region. We have been asked to convey a message. We will do it. This will also be made to telephone with the Israeli prime minister.

After all, in terms of British bases, the British were publicly positioned, not once, that the British bases have not been used.

The role of the Republic of Cyprus in the region, I want to repeat it, as well as our characteristic is that we are talking to everyone and to the extent of our abilities – I do not want to exaggerate – we try to convey messages, to create those conditions, so that this difficult situation can end, “
