[01] CYPRUS PRESIDENT - LATVIAN PRESIDENT - STATE BANQUET
Cyprus President Tassos Papadopoulos has expressed the hope that Ankara
and the Turkish Cypriots will at long last cooperate in implementing
the 8 July Agreement, which now, is the only way towards the
comprehensive solution of the Cyprus problem.
Speaking at the state banquet in honour of the President of the
Republic of Latvia Vaira Vike-Freiberga, Papadopoulos said the faits
accomplis, imposed by the force of arms of the invading military forces
of Turkey, cannot and will not be accepted or legitimized stressing
that it is our greatest priority to seek a mutually acceptable solution
through negotiations under United Nations auspices, on the basis of a
bicommunal, bizonal federation, which will ensure the genuine
reunification of the island, its people, its institutions and its
economy; a solution based on international law, the relevant United
Nations Resolutions and compatible with the principles and values on
which the European Union is founded.
He noted that the Government of the Republic of Cyprus remains faithful
and is committed to the full implementation of the 8 July 2006
Agreement, which provides for concurrent discussions on substantive
issues of the Cyprus problem and those that affect the everyday life of
all Cypriots.
