Partition warning ahead of talks
By Jean Christou
PRESIDENTIAL candidate Costas Themistocleous yesterday warned against entering an “empty” process on the Cyprus issue that would result in partition before people even realised it was happening.
Speaking ahead of today’s talks between the two leaders, Themistocleous called for continuous dialogue between the leaders for a period of six months.
He also said outspoken MEP Marios Matsakis was correct last week when he said there were only two choices and those were an agreement on the basis of the Annan plan or permanent partition.
Matsakis caused a storm when he said he would prefer partition to the Annan plan, but Themistocleous said that although the MEP’s assessment was correct, he made the wrong choice.
“We select the solution of reunification,” said Themistocleous.
Louis Igoumenides, the press spokesman for Themistocleous, added during a news conference that although the July 8, 2006 process should not be underestimated, it was not in itself the ideal way forward.
“It is not the most expedient process for us to quickly reach a comprehensive settlement,” he said.
He also said there was some concern that the Tassos Papadopoulos camp may have shifted its stance on the accepted solution of a bicommunal bizonal federation.
Igoumenides said the fact that AKEL general secretary and presidential candidate Demetris Christofias had felt it necessary to have this reconfirmed at Monday’s National Council meeting was enough to confirm suspicions that this was the case.
“It means that he and his party realise that there has been a shift and this is even more serious when you consider that he [Christofias] was a close collaborator with President Papadopoulos,” he added.
“We maintain our concerns, our fears and our doubts as to how much this government and this President will seek a total solution.”
Partition was already in the works, and not far off, due to the developments in the north since the referendum, and there was a worry that more and more people might begin to think it was a better solution, Igoumenides said.
