President Christofias received T/C "Cyprus Peace Platform"
The President of the Republic Mr Demetris Christofias
received on Friday, at the Presidential Palace, a delegation of the Turkish
Cypriot organization "Cyprus Peace Platform". Following the meeting, the
organization’s representative Mr Tezel Baykent stated that the delegation
congratulated President Christofias on his election to this important post.
Referring to the Cyprus problem, Mr Baykent said that the solution that would be
found must respect the rights of all Cypriots and be in accordance with the
parameters of the European Union", noting that "the struggle for a common
homeland may succeed only with the joint struggle of Greek Cypriots and Turkish
Cypriots". "We, a non-governmental organization, are ready to contribute to this
struggle", he noted. He added that during the meeting with President Christofias
the issue of the opening of Ledra Street was discussed, noting that "we stressed
that it was a very positive step and we asked him to contribute to the opening
of yet other crossing points". Finally, he expressed the belief that "the Cyprus
problem may be resolved with a solution based on the 1960 Treaties of
Establishment of the Republic of Cyprus and the High Level Agreements of 1977
and 1979 and on the UN process; a bizonal bicommunal federation solution, based
on the political equality of the two communities".
