  • [01] EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT - FAMAGUSTA

    The European Parliament Committee on Petitions has accepted a request to keep the issue of the return of the Turkish occupied town of Famagusta to its legal inhabitants on the agenda of the Committee, after consultations, in which MEPs from Cyprus and Greece played a leading role.

    The request to keep the issue open was submitted during a meeting of the Committee by its Vice-President, Greek MEP Maria Matsouka, and Cypriot MEP Panayiotis Demetriou. The issue was first submitted in 2004 by Loizos Afxentiou on behalf of the Famagusta Refugee Movement.

    [02] PARTIES - EVENTS

    Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot political parties have launched a series of events aimed at promoting rapprochement between the two communities.

    Speaking Tuesday night during the first event, a reception at Famagusta Gate, Nicosia, organized by the Slovak embassy in Cyprus, left-wing party AKEL General Secretary Demetris Christofias expressed the wish that Greek and Turkish Cypriots will soon have daily contact and meetings in a reunified Cyprus.

    General Secretary of the Turkish Cypriot Republican Turkish Party Omer Kalioncu said that our efforts have one goal, to reach an agreement that will give us the opportunity to live together in our own homeland.
