“Turkey has never discussed or accepted the abolition of guarantees. This can be seen from the minutes during the meeting with the Secretary General. This is what Mr. Tsavousoglou said before and after the Crans Montana Summit when he told us to wake up from the dream that the guarantees could be abolished. “These were the written positions, but also the subsequent development of the positions of the Turkish side during the meeting with the Secretary General”, said the President of the Republic of Cyprus Nikos Anastasiadis, noting that regarding the Cyprus issue, the upgrade of an unprecedented foreign policy of the Republic of Cyprus, which has upgraded the role of the country in the region, but not only, aims at the direction of climate change.
Speaking to reporters in Limassol, and to a journalist remarking that the President’s positions were at first sight justified by the minutes of meetings in Crans Montana, which were made public, President Anastasiadis said that “what mattered was to be vindicated the Cypriot Hellenism.
Unfortunately, due to the Turkish intransigence, as it is proven and will be proved by what I hear will follow, a prescribed course continues which was first recorded in 1956, ie division, then in 1983 the proclamation of the pseudo-state and with this aim unfortunately consequently they, with some inconsistency we, continue to implement what they had planned. Therefore, let them not attribute responsibilities to any President of the Republic of Cyprus or to the Greek Cypriot side, which is the most important, and let us see by analyzing the historical course who is the one who is responsible “.
Asked if we can reverse the climate, President Anastasiadis said that “our effort is moving in this direction. “Diplomatic actions, trilateral cooperation, multilateral cooperation, the upgrading of an unprecedented foreign policy during the 60 years of the Republic of Cyprus, which has upgraded its role in the region, but not only, aims in this direction.”
Asked if the government would take further action due to rising coronavirus cases, the president said: with the vaccination centers in each city, to give the opportunity of either the first or the third or the completion of the vaccination program. After that, of course, the measures will be tightened. In order to avoid total lockdown, some people should be excluded, no matter how much we respect their views.
There are examples from many countries such as Greece, Austria, France.
We have no choice if we do not want to drive companies into bankruptcy because of the stubbornness of some. They must finally understand that the time has come to realize that individual is also a social responsibility “, concluded Mr. Anastasiadis.
