[02] CHRISTOFIAS - MORPHOUThere can be no solution to the Cyprus problem without the return of Morphou under Greek Cypriot administration, President of the Republic of Cyprus Demetris Christofias pointed out on Sunday.Addressing a gathering in the context of Morphou anti-occupation events, the President said the Greek Cypriot side always believed that the solution of the Cyprus problem would come after a creative approach by both sides, adding that he expected the international community to address those who obstruct the solution process. President Christofias recalled the three-point proposal he submitted recently aiming at expediting the ongoing UN-led talks, which began in 2008 for a mutually agreed solution of the Cyprus problem. He specifically referred to his proposal for a parallel discussion of the chapters of property and territory and the issue of settlers, noting that this proposal is ``directly related to Morphou and the need for its return under Greek Cypriot administration.`` Cyprus News Agency: News in English Directory - Previous Article - Next Article |
