He also said an international campaign should be undertaken to inform foreign governments on the impasse in the UN-led peace effort.In an interview with CNA in view of the upcoming parliamentary elections, Lyssarides said he is not against Turkey's European Union accession when it meets the criteria and appeared satisfied with the Republic's course for harmonising its legislation with the European aquis communautaire, even though he said the House should employ technocrats to help deputies.
