A despatch by the Cyprus News Agency about the speech by Mr Stefanos Stefanou in London reported the following:
SPOKESMAN – TURKEY
Turkey has yet to prove its willingness for the achievement of a solution in Cyprus, Government Spokesman Stephanos Stephanou has stressed.
The Spokesman was speaking at the Cyprus Centre of the London Metropolitan University, which co-organised together with the Episteme – The Association of British Professionals, a conference entitled “Cyprus – 50 Years of Independence, Achievements and Challenges”.
“It is obvious, that the solution of the Cyprus problem on the basis of the relevant UN resolutions, the principles of international and European law, and the High Level Agreements between the two communities of Cyprus, will be for the benefit of all”, he said.
Stephanou noted the benefits for Turkey in the event that a solution of the Cyprus problem is achieved.
“The solution of the Cyprus problem will be for the benefit of Turkey, which unfortunately persists in refusing to implement the UN relevant resolutions, withdraw its occupation troops from Cyprus and restore the territorial integrity of the Republic of Cyprus, so that Cyprus is reunified” he went on to stress.
