Garoyian comments on Cyprus talks
06.JUL.09
House President Marios Garoyian has said the Greek Cypriot side does not accept a solution of the Cyprus problem that will give Turkey guarantor or intervention rights in Cyprus.
Garoyian said that Ankara aims at a settlement of two states in Cyprus and a solution that does not even serve the interests of the Turkish Cypriot community.
Speaking at a memorial service for those who lost their lives fighting in Nicosia area during the Turkish invasion of the island in the summer of 1974, Garoyian said that the Greek Cypriot side is “ready for an honorable and just compromise but does not accept the closing of the Cyprus problem."
"Unfortunately Ankara and its representative insist on the Annan plan. They pursue a solution of two states, insist on 'virgin birth', Turkish guarantor and intervention rights, refuse to discuss the issue of illegal settlers, refuse to implement the high level agreements and the UNSC resolutions, violate the principles of international law and avoide fulfilling Turkish obligations and commitments towards the EU," he said.
