Despite the lack of contribution on the part of the Turkish side for a comprehensive, just and viable settlement of the Cyprus problem that will be based on UN Security Council decisions and will abide by the EU principles and values, and despite Turkey’s insistence to impose a new fait accompli, Greece continues to believe in the need and the potential of reaching a mutually accepted, just and viable settlement within the framework of the ongoing negotiating effort that started and is going on as a result of Cyprus President Demetris Christofias’ initiatives and constructive proposals, Greek President Carolos Papoulias has said.
In a letter to Christofias, on the occasion the 51st anniversary of the Republic of Cyprus independence, Papoulias also noted that Greece will spare no effort and determination to achieve a settlement of the Cyprus problem. He added that Greece will continue to do its outmost and continue to support the Republic of Cyprus.
Papoulias wished on behalf of the people of Greece and himself freedom and welfare to the people of Cyprus. He noted that Greek policy on the Cyprus question has been based on the respect of the Cypriot sovereignty, the continuous cooperation and the full coordination with the Cyprus government.
