PERUGIA -- Unity in Cyprus prerequisites the withdrawal of Turkish troops and Turkish settlers, as well as respect of the independence, territorial integrity and sovereignty of the Republic of Cyprus, President Demetris Christofias has stressed.

In statements to Italian and Cypriot journalists on his arrival at the University for Foreigners of Perugia, President Christofias pointed out that real unity in Cyprus - which will be founded on a functional state in the framework of a bi-zonal, bi-communal federation - “must be the unity of the state, the people, and the institutions”.

That unity, he added, must take into consideration what differentiates as well as what unites Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots, namely common interests and common civilisation built by both communities. “It must be a state which will be founded on a sociopolitical instead of a national context”, he noted.

“Such unity will be a guarantee for the security and the prosperity of the Greek Cypriots and the Turkish Cypriots, in the framework of the European Union”, he added.

President Christofias thanked President Giorgio Napolitano and Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi for the “cordial conversation” and their readiness to use the good relations between Italy and Turkey to help Cyprus’ reunification.

If TCs feel that whats on offer is in theri best interests and can survive economically they will break the cord. But there is no chnace of that so everything we are saying is hypathetical.
