  • [01] GREEK PM LEDRA STREET

    Greek Prime Minister Costas Karamanlis described as courageous action the decision of the government of Cyprus to demolish the wall at Ledra Street.

    In statements at the Belgium capital, Karamanlis said we welcome the courageous act of high value and good will, of the Cypriot government to demolish the checkpoint and we surely look forward to the response of the other side, so that the point of crossing at Ledra Street, from a dividing point to become a point of free communication for both Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots.

    [02] REHN - LEDRA STREET

    Enlargement Commissioner Olli Rehn welcomed the demolishing of the National Guard wall in Ledra Street in Nicosia, and hoped that the opening of the crossing point would be a major symbolic step forward in bringing both communities in Nicosia closer together.

    In a written statement from Brussels, Rehn said, I welcome that the wall at Ledra Street in Nicosia has been pulled down following a unilateral decision of the government of the Republic of Cyprus.

    He urged all parties concerned to use the momentum created by this courageous decision and by the earlier removal of the footbridge by the Turkish Cypriot community to rapidly take the next necessary steps to effectively open the Ledra Street crossing in the centre of Nicosia.
