Mitsotakis: Our pursuit is a bi-zonal, bi-communal federation without a foreign occupation army

Cyprus.- The Greeks will not stop fighting until Cyprus is reunited, until the wounds are healed and stability and peace return to the island and the wider region, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said on Saturday in his greeting at the event at the Presidential Mansion.
“I am here today deeply moved to say a couple of words. I will not forget. We are united, we persist, we fight. Based on a plan and collaboration,” the Greek premier noted.
He also said that the lessons of the past must ne our guide today, in a day that is not only a day of sorrow for those who were lost but also the starting point of a new momentum for our national claims.
Mitsotakis said that in this half century the island became a modern democracy, it stood up against the disastrous consequences of Attila and Nicosia kept alive the request for the reunification of the country.
Cyprus, he pointed out, with the help of Greece, became a member of the European family with its economy constantly growing.
“But the wound is still bleeding. The northern part of the island is occupied. Cyprus remains divided. We still have missing persons and refugees. We still have the only wall that divides a European capital,” he stated.
“We do not accept a fait accompli and our pursuit remains one. A Republic of Cyprus with a single sovereignty, a single international identity and a single nationality, in a bi-zonal, bi-communal federation, in a single state where all citizens will be both Cypriots and Europeans, without a foreign occupation army, without obsolete guarantees just as the resolutions of UN but also the respect for the European acquis demand,” the prime minister stressed.
