[01] HOUSE PRESIDENT SPEECH

[01] HOUSE PRESIDENT SPEECH

In a speech at a memorial service in Paphos for heroes Andreas Tselepos, Kostas Karnavalos and Vladimiros Eracleous, Garoyian pointed out that the Greek Cypriot side will not accept the birth of a new state in Cyprus or a solution that will grant interventional rights and rights of guarantees to Turkey.

He said we are ready for an honourable and fair compromise but at the same time, we will not accept an unjust solution and a closure of the Cyprus issue that will not attribute justice, end the occupation and settlement and fail to restore the unity of the country, the people and the institutions.

We are ready for an historical compromise, a solution of a bizonal bicommunal federation. We reject a confederation or two-state solution, he added.

The House President underlined that we seek a solution the soonest possible. Yes, we accept that the solution of the Cyprus problem will be a painful compromise. However, we do not accept a solution based on Turkish conditions, aims and aspirations. Compromise is one thing and submission another, he noted.

Garoyian stressed the need for unity in the internal front. It is of vital interest to formulate conditions that will lead to a collective handling of our national problem while unity of goals should be the fundamental aim, he added.
