Prime Minister Ferdi Sabit Soyer has stressed that the statements by the Greek Cypriot Archbishop Hrisostomos which were against the establishment of a federation in Cyprus, are all about his desire for the non-solution in Cyprus.

Criticizing the Archbishop for making arguments about past treaties signed on the Cyprus issue like the summit agreements of 1977, Mr Soyer said: ‘It is wrong to make 1977 agreements a discussion subject in 2007 today. This attitude only derives from his will for leaving the Cyprus problem unsolved’ he added.

Prime Minister Ferdi Sabit Soyer reacted to the latest statements by the Greek Cypriot Archbishop Hrisostomos on the Cyprus issue who claimed that the establishment of a federation in Cyprus is unacceptable.

Reminding that the Greek Cypriot Archbishop Hrisostomos accuses the political parties in the South which are in favour of providing a federal solution to the Cyprus problem based on political equality and bizonality, and expresses his support to the Greek Cypriot Leader Tassos Papadopoulos, Mr Soyer called on the Greek Cypriot People to come to realize such insincere attitudes.

‘1977-79 Cyprus Summit Agreements envisage the establishment of a federation on the island based on the political equality of the two sides.

Some Greek Cypriots who support the idea do not react to the Archbishop’s opposing statements and instead, they treat us as the side which represents the non-solution. However, those who want peace in Cyprus must react against those who really support the non-solution’ he said.
