Αννиτα: Η διαχ ειηκυακοενι&pi ;θεση τοενς /></p> <p> We insist and will insist on the resumption of negotiations in the agreed framework and we hope that the presence of Mrs. Holgin will be led exactly there, stated the President of DISY Annita Dimitriou after the completion of the National Council. </p> <p>In her statements, Mrs. Dimitriou stated that she believes that even now and in the immediate future the National Council needs to be in coordination, noting that "the management of Cyprus is not a matter for one person".</p> <p> "It has been and is our firm position that the National Council must be convened at regular intervals precisely because there are rapid developments in the geopolitical scene and new data that primarily concern our national issue and thus the need to have the necessary information becomes imperative&raquo ?, he added.</p> <p>For this reason today, he continued, we are happy about the fact that the National Council was held and we were informed by the President of the Republic about all that is happening.</p> <p>Our position, he emphasized, is that there needs to be a proper reading of the data and drawing up a national strategy. "This is DISY's position and we have put forward our own suggestions for this. A national strategy is required precisely in matters that do not fit into micro-political expediencies and the management of the Cypriot issue is not a matter of one person, it needs collectiveness and appropriate handling at all levels and we have a role to play whether we are political forces in our wider political groups for example DISY is in the European People's Party, or the House of Representatives through parliamentary diplomacy, etc., he added</p> <p> So the message should be one, he said, to take advantage of every opportunity, every means, every step so that there is a real prospect for lifting the deadlock in the Cyprus issue and to activate every interface and contact.</p> <p>"There's no other way really for it to prevail, I think it's something we realize more than ever these days with everything that's going on. Peace, security and stability, most importantly for citizens to feel safe and truly be able to have the future they desire. How much more so in a country which for almost half a century has been and is under occupation”, he said.</p> <p>Mrs. Dimitriou said that the President of the Republic informed the National and about the immigration. "We also informed about our own initiatives, especially with what happened in the previous days at the Conference of the Presidents of the Parliaments in Spain for the adoption of our own declaration, the declaration precisely as countries of first entry, countries of the South where we have a disproportionate burden for the management of irregular, illegal immigrants”, he said.</p> <p>"There should be a response from the European Union which is needed in parallel with the moves made by the Republic of Cyprus", he noted.</p> <p>The message is one, he continued, that we must activate every step and means offered to us because the Republic of Cyprus cannot manage this major issue by itself. "That is why we welcomed, without wanting to say and we have never said, that the migration pact that was voted for the first time by the European Parliament and is expected to be adopted by the Council in the next few days is entirely satisfactory, and we believe that there should be other measures to prevent the issue which concerns not only Cypriot citizens but also European citizens”, he said.</p> <p>Asked to comment on what she said that the management of the Cyprus issue is not a matter for one person, Mrs. Dimitriou stated that "we also have a role to assume and an obligation wherever and whenever we participate as DISY in the European People's Party, whether as the House of Representatives of each Member of Parliament, Member of Parliament through different institutions to strengthen and add to the strategy that needs to exist and be prepared to shield the positions of our own side and demonstrate the problem at its core that there has been a continued occupation for fifty years in a member state of the EU with additional violations and tactics by Turkey every day.</p> <p>So from the moment that the United Nations Organization and the EU itself recognize that we need to move on the basis of the agreed framework which is the bizonal, bicommunal federation with political equality, he noted, we should intensify every action in this direction and the minimum what is required is the coordination between us.</p> <p>Asked about her party's proposals submitted to the National Council, she said that she has made the proposals public since the previous time. "They have to do with the fact that, for example, there must be a record of convergences and categorization of divergences after and the formation of the negotiating team. “From what he said, the President of the Republic will announce it and we think it will be very helpful,” he added.</p> <p>We will have to see how many other issues, he continued, «like for example the issue of energy they can add to give if you want the incentive to  Turkey to come to the negotiating table without ever saying under any circumstances that there must be an agreement on energy before the solution. Of course other issues, such as for example there should be an information campaign specifically about the measures announced to the Turkish Cypriots, where we are, what exactly they require because they are often treated negatively rather than positively, so we have to talk about them too.</p > <p> We recalled, he said, the proposal for a decentralized federation, all this and we have to find a way how exactly we stop this impasse and bring to the table if you will those who are needed to go one step further</p> <p> When asked if they were informed about the UN Secretary General's proposals that the President allegedly accepted, Mrs. Dimitriou said that she could not give more details. "I will respect and you will also respect that anything said can work negatively or inversely towards the goal we want. The President of the Republic has given an explanation. Let's hope that everything will go as we wish, he concluded.</p> <p> Source: KYPE</p> <p><noindex></p> <div class=Source: www.sigmalive.com
