Short after his victory, Anastasiades has extended an olive branch to Turkish Cypriots. “What interests us is a solution that will not only be accepted by Greeks, but of course by Turkish Cypriots as well, particularly a solution that creates the expectation of development,” he said.
Anastasiades vowed for a solution that combined the European Union. “I am addressing the Turkish Cypriot citizens. I want to express my intention for an European solution that will lead us to peace, fraternity and a modern nation, respectful of the human rights of every citizen and that will create expectations of progress and welfare. We want a country undiscriminating and multicultural. In this effort to end an unacceptable situation with regards to the EU and international community, I am sure that we will have the backing of all our friends. A new stage starts today for Cyprus.”
