Christodoulides: Cyprus Solution Only Way to End Illegal Property Seizures

The President of Cyprus, Nikos Christodoulides, stated that a solution to the Cyprus issue is the only way to end the seizure of properties in the occupied territories, responding to questions about statements by Turkish Cypriot leader, Tufan Erhurman. He emphasized that the Government desires a resumption of negotiations and called on Turkey and the T/C leader to the negotiating table. At the same time, he condemned an incident of harassment of Greek Cypriot farmers in the dead zone by the occupying forces, stating that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has contacted the farmer and informed the United Nations and the Cyprus Police. He stressed that the safety of residents is a priority and that these actions are piratical. He noted that the incident will be discussed at the next meeting with the T/C leader.
