Cyprus President addresses anti-occupation event
Nicosia, Jul 20 (CNA) - Cypriot President Tassos Papadopoulos said
tonight that although the non-solution of the Cyprus problem was not a
solution, the Greek Cypriot side could in no way choose a non-viable
solution, noting that if the non-solution festers the peril of
uncertainty, then a bad solution cultivates and guarantees the
certainty of a disaster.
Speaking at an event organised by the Cypriot government under the
title ''Cyprus 1974-2004, No to the occupation, Yes to reunification''
President Papadopoulos said the Greek Cypriot side does not apologise
for rejecting a solution plan proposed by UN Secretary General Kofi
Annan in the April 24 referendum, noting that ''our answer was right
and so was our position.''
He added that ''we want a solution urgently and we are sincerely
working for the reunification of our homeland and its people, for a
solution on the basis of a bizonal, bicommunal and functional
federation, which the Annan plan can offer with the appropriate
improvements to it.''
