[01] SYRIZA leader Tsipras meets with AKEL sec.gen. Kyprianou
Main opposition SYRIZA leader Alexis Tsipras and AKEL secretary general
Andros Kyprianou, during their meeting on Thursday, stressed the need
for putting pressure on Turkey in order to take action to defuse tension
in Cyprus.
Tsipras noted that there was a climate of instability in the wider
Southeastern Mediterranean and added that the Turkish side opts for
challenge and aggression, chooses to thwart the dialogue for resolving
the Cyprus issue and undermine the sovereignty of the Cyprus Republic.
Greece, Tsipras said, should stand by the side of the Republic of Cyprus
and the Cypriot people, making clear that no blackmail can lead to
positive developments, while pointing out the need for the differences
in the area to be handled only with dialogue.
SYRIZA leader underlined that the party asserts its determination on
the same line with AKEL, "to bypass blackmail and pressures and lead
the people of Cyprus to the selection of a fair solution that cannot be
other than the bi-communal, bi-zonal federation, without foreign forces
and settlers and without third party guarantors that will determine the
course of the Cypriot people."
On his part, Kyprianou stressed the need to first defuse the crisis and
then to set the conditions for the resumption of the talks, underlining
the need for cautiousness and calmness.
