  • [01] PRESIDENT - HOUSE PRESIDENT - MEETING

    Cyprus House and DIKO party President Marios Karoyan has submitted to the President of the Republic thoughts and proposals with a view to strengthen the Greek Cypriot negotiating position as regards the Cyprus problem and create the circumstances so as the basis of the Greek Cypriot sides positions to enjoy a bigger acceptance on behalf of the international community.

    Speaking after a meeting with President Demetris Christofias, during which he was briefed on the latest developments of the Cyprus efforts and the meeting with Turkish Cypriot leader Mehmet Ali Talat, DIKO President noted that there are positive elements in the joint statement, issued after that meeting, adding there are also some points which are described as a constructive ambiguity causing reasonable concerns.

    The biggest danger there is, according to the House President, for the Turkish side, which all this period gave us samples of a fruitless, implacable policy to utilize these ambiguities to promote its own strategic interests with the assistance of the powerful states.

    In the morning they will meet the President of the House of Representatives Marios Karoyan, the Greek Ambassador Demetris Rallis and later on the Archbishop of Cyprus Chrysostomos II.
