PM: Tear down last 'wall' on Cyprus

http://www.ana.gr/anaweb/user/showplain ... &service=6

BERLIN (ANA-MPA) -- Attending celebrations to mark the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou on Monday called on Europe to tear down the last remaining wall within its borders, namely, the wall that still separates and divides the island of Cyprus.

"As Greeks and as Europeans we must shout out: Tear down the last wall, the one that divides Cyprus in two," Papandreou underlined in his address.

The Greek premier underlined that a free and united Europe should not tolerate walls or occupation forces, and promised to fight for a Europe free of any kind of "wall".

"This is the kind of Europe we want and it is not just our intention but also our promise to fight for such a Europe and for the Cyprus that we envisage," he emphasised.

Papandreou described the current day as a "historic anniversary" when Germans and European citizens stood up and demanded that the Berlin Wall be torn down, "along with all walls that trapped the so many people of Europe in totalitarianism, autocracy, fixations and prejudices, opening the horizons for democracy and freedom."

These heroic actions and moments underlined the "wager of democracy, which is to daily tear down walls that keep citizens away from politics and do not put him at its centre," the premier said.

Villiers pushes Cyprus cause

FAMAGUSTA GAZETTE 09.NOV.09
British MP Theresa Villiers has urged British Prime Minister Gordon Brown and German Chancellor Angela Merkel to use the celebrations taking place today to mark the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall as an opportunity to push Cyprus up the international community’s agenda and to send a strong signal to Ankara that it is time to reunite the island.

In a letter to Brown, Villiers said that ``it is time for the international community to push Cyprus much higher up its list of priorities. As a Guarantor Power and a fellow Commonwealth member, the UK Government has an important role to play in facilitating and supporting Cypriots in their search for a settlement.``

``I would appeal to you to bring your influence to bear on the Ankara Government to persuade them to comply with their obligations under the Ankara Protocol (as a candidate country to the EU), with UN resolutions on Cyprus and with the judgments of the European Court of Human Rights,`` Villiers said. - Cop

Christofias heads for Berlin wall celebrations

NICOSIA - President Christofias left for Berlin this morning to attend the celebrations for the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall.

Speaking on his departure at Larnaca Airport, he expressed the hope that the European governments will assist the efforts for the solution of the Cyprus problem, since they know very well that there is a wall separating Nicosia today.

While noting that the circumstances of the German division were different than those of Cyprus, the reunification of Germany was symbolical for the Cypriots.

while the turkish side screams make the wall official and keep it there for ever and is doing everything in their power to make sure it will stay there... its not so easy when no one is willing to do anything about it.

yeah... yeah... working for the black gas...

[Get Real!]

The danger of associating the Berlin wall with the Cypriot demarcation line is that ignorant people around the world then tend to assume that Cyprus is a West vs East issue, when in actual fact it’s an illegal military invasion & occupation by Turkey for 35 years!

Two totally different and irrelevant things!

Greek PM: Tear down last 'wall' on Cyprus

Someone should inform the stupid and cowardly Greek PM that calling out to thin air to “tear down that wall” reminiscent of Ronald Reegan, is plain stupid when he should POINT HIS FINGER STRAIGHT AT TURKEY’S NOSE and DEMAND that Turkey abides by UN resolutions!

Greece, as always TOTALLY USELESS to Cyprus!

Are you really able to claim that the East/West issue had no bearing on the Cyprus Problem with a straight face. Is that what they learned you in the sauf?
