AKEL returns against the Government for American forces – “Peace Bridge… or part of the problem?' – What it says in an announcement
AKEL returns against the Government after Letymiotis' response.
“We call on Christodoulidis government to answer: does the apparently extensive use of not only the bases but also the infrastructure of the Republic by the USA – and indeed at such a critical juncture – turn Cyprus into a bridge of peace as the government proclaims, or does it make it part of the problem?” he wonders.

As AKEL reports, the protection of the country is judged primarily by the actions and choices of the government.

“AKEL repeats: the Christodoulidis government should put the interests of Cyprus above the interests and mandates of any third countries. If this is what the government does, it should be seen in practice,” he concludes.
