[01] SYRIZA leader Tsipras meets with Cyprus' Kyprianou
ANA/MPA---Main opposition SYRIZA leader Alexis Tsipras and general
secretary of the central committee of Cyprus' AKEL Andros Kyprianou on
Wednesday expressed their concern over the course of negotiations on
the Cyprus issue, after a meeting in Athens.
Tsipras said that the Republic of Cyprus is experiencing a double
hostageship - territorial and economic - from the policies implemented
by the troika, which has imposed destructive policies to the people.
In this context, efforts to resolve the Cyprus issue take new dimensions,
he noted adding that SYRIZA's main position is that conversations are
always welcome, however, critical times require special attention
so as not to lead to an unfair solution. The solution to be found,
he stressed, must be accepted by the people of Cyprus. Tsipras added
that SYRIZA supports the efforts of AKEL and will assist them towards a
bi-zonal, bi-communal federation with a single citizenship and a single
international identity.
Kyprianou stressed that Greece is the main supporter in this difficult
struggle for the liberation and reunification of Cyprus and added that
the fact that AKEL supports the process of difficult negotiations
does not mean it is not aware of the difficulties and problems that
exist. Kyprianou noted that his party is working so as to minimize the
risks so that an agreed solution can be achieved, but noted that the
Turkish Cypriots do not move from their intransigent positions.
