AKEL response to DISY: How hard is it for DISY to even mumble that they uphold international law?

When Cyprus is struggling to convince others that the country’s greatest protection lies in the respect for international law, on what grounds will DISY and the other forces of the Israeli lobby really appeal to the international community in the face of Turkey’s expansionist ambitions?

We wonder all the more so whether, when they accuse AKEL of harbouring ideological obsessions – because AKEL denounces Israel’s genocidal policy – they also level the same charge at the United Nations and so many other countries such as France, Spain and Canada, which have found the courage to condemn what is happening in Palestine.

Ultimately, when it comes to Israel’s interests, how difficult is it for them to even mumble a single word that they uphold international law?
