The informal conference is of great importance, we will accompany the President of the Republic in Geneva, the General Secretary of AKEL said.
The informal conference in Geneva is of great importance because it will determine the future and perspective of our country, AKEL General Secretary Andros Kyprianou noted after the National Council meeting.
At the same time, he stated that AKEL has responded positively and will accompany the President of the Republic to Geneva.
After thanking the President of the Republic for the briefing he gave political leaders about the various contacts he had recently, A.Kyprianou said that if we do not have a positive result, there is a serious possibility that developments on the Cyprus problem will be very negative and stated that Turkey is already escalating its aggression and provocativeness, while proceeding to impose new fait accompli on the ground such as, for example, in Varosha.
“It is extremely important that our goal should be to achieve something positive from the conference without in any way deviating from the principles on which the solution to the Cyprus problem is based on,” he pointed out.
The General Secretary of AKEL added that the President asked to be accompanied to Geneva, saying that “we have responded positively, we will go there with the intention of working constructively, regardless of whether there are concerns, we believe that the side that will face more difficulties is the Turkish one because it is the one which is outside the agreed framework for the solution of the Cyprus problem, with the positions it is formulating. And if we act correctly, then we believe that we can achieve something positive, which will lead to the resumption of substantive negotiations, with the aim of reaching an agreed solution to the Cyprus problem as soon as possible.”
This is our goal as AKEL, he said, adding that they will seek to operate constructively within this framework.
