<p> <strong>Unlocks the Cyprus problem with Energy and NATO </strong> </p>
<p>The candidate for President of the Republic, President of the Democratic Alarm, Averof Neophytou, sees prospects for a solution to the Cyprus problem, despite the very difficult times due to geopolitical upheavals caused by the Ukrainian, but also the energy/inflation crisis affecting global economies. In his interview with “P”, Mr. Neophytou explains how he can unlock the Cyprus issue in combination with the energy in our region, and the new geostrategic role of NATO. The president of DISY also answers questions related to the presidential elections, the problems faced by his candidacy among the Alarm voters, the role of the President of the Republic during the election campaign, as well as for their two candidates, who until recently they were close associates of Nikos Anastasiadis. </p>
<p> <strong> How will you approach the Cyprus issue if you are elected President of the Republic? </strong> <br />There are two things I think can unlock the Cyprus issue. What are the two big problems of Europe, but also global? Security and Energy Crisis. Two weapons on the table. First, with the solution of the Cyprus problem, let all the countries of our neighborhood enter the energy equation on strictly commercial terms and with the axis of the distribution of natural gas. </p>
<p> <strong> And Turkey? </strong> <br />All neighborhood countries. I repeat, with a solution to the Cyprus problem. Second, with a solution to the Cyprus problem, Cyprus to join NATO. It is these two that can unlock the prospect of resolving the Cyprus issue. Again I will have many in front of me. You know, the safest destination for a boat is to be stranded in port. But, the captains are to dare to take the ships out of port. </p>
<p> <strong> But be careful not to sink them & # 8230; <br /> </strong> Yes, to rule them with confidence, even with storms. </p>
<p> <strong> <em>Decentralized federation </em> <br /> </strong> </p>
<p> <strong> Could we start talks from some other side? </strong> <br />I have just mentioned two bold positions to you. There is a third, on which we can build. This is the position for a decentralized federation, mentioned by the President of the Republic & # 8211; and has always been a position of the Democratic Alarm. Full autonomy in the two constituent states. Unfortunately, the invasion took place in 1974, we have been living under the occupation since ’74, but we have been running separately -the C/C community illegally- since 1964. And unfortunately both the Greek Cypriots and the Turkish Cypriots got used to it. And the Turkish Cypriots are afraid of the involvement of the Greek Cypriots in their internal affairs, and vice versa. So, if we give autonomy to the issues of everyday life, what is left for the central state to handle? Most and most serious issues gradually go to Brussels. Therefore, it remains in the central government one sovereignty, one international personality, one citizenship, natural resources and a single economy, where the rules are set anyway. And so the Turkish Cypriots will have their autonomy in matters of daily life, and political – not numerical – equality, at the level of the federal government. </p>
<p> <strong> <em> For the future </a> em> <br /> </strong> </p>
<p> <strong> You all say the same & # 8230; And the current President of the Republic had a lot of good ideas to solve the Cyprus problem, but, if he was elected, he backed down. <br /> </strong>I have just told you bold positions that you could not have imagined that a Cypriot politician would suggest such proposals. </p>
<p> <strong> Why did not you press President Anastasiadis in this direction? </strong> <br /> Now we are talking about the future. Let's not go back to the past. </p>
<p> <strong> <em> After the Turkish elections </em> <br /> </strong> </p>
<p> <strong> Why the Cyprus issue was locked ; <br /> </strong>But do we ignore Turkey's positions on two states? And tell you what worries me the most? Something worse than the Turkish position for two states. What happened in the last few days. The announcement that flights from the illegal airport in occupied Tympos are now considered domestic flights to Turkey. This is a danger though, because in essence the Turks are proceeding with the political integration of the occupiers. The occupied territories are being transformed into a Turkish province, which for me is three times worse than & # 8217; that the inadmissibility of the two states. That's why I said we have to put Turkey in the equation. To break the deadlock. But I am also a realist. There is going to be nothing on the Cyprus issue in the coming months – and it is not because Anastasiadis does not want it – but because Erdogan is not discussing the Cyprus issue unless he finishes his elections next year. </p>
<p> <strong> So the MOE for Varosi was an unfair effort? <br /> </strong> We correctly suggested the MOE, well done to the President, bold measures, to send a message both at home and abroad. </p>
<p> <strong >What was the result? Nobody. <br /> </strong> I was at the Congress of the European People's Party last time, I have talked to Europeans, they saw it positively, despite the fact that the renegotiation window did not open. Everyone knows and recognizes that Turkey's attitudes continue to be the same. That is why let us not self-flagellate, we are not to blame for everything. </p>
<p> <strong> <em> I did not dare </em> <br /> </strong> </p>
<p> <strong >Did you not talk about a tsunami and send a message to President Anastasiadis? Forgot it? <br /> </strong>Of course I talked about a tsunami, and I explained what I meant. Was I wrong? It was when the controversy in the federation had started by many here in Cyprus – and by those who finally loved the bi-zonal, bi-communal – except for a few who were considered marginal at the time. And I said, do not have illusions that if the ICC leaves the table, we will go to the united state of 1960, without Guarantees and without TOURDYK and ELDYK. I remember it as if I was talking to Eleni Vrettou now, in September 2018. </p>
<p> <strong> You made this statement, because then, President Anastasiadis was trying out the scenario of the two states. That period was. <br /> </strong> It was that period, which many considered – after the crash of Crans Montana – that it was the opportunity to write off the ICC. And there were many who considered it & # 8230; </p>
<p> <strong> And with them the President. <br /> </strong>No one dared to share such positions with me. The only thing we talked about with the President, and we agreed, was that the decentralized federation is more functional. </p>
<p> <strong> Mavrogiannis was the “Undertaker”, Christodoulidis was promoting the “passports” </strong> </p >
<p>Asked why someone should vote for Averof Neophytou, and not Nikos Christodoulidis or Andreas Mavrogiannis, the president of DISY indicated that “the election of Andreas Mavrogiannis by AKEL and the sure support of DIKO to Nikos Christodoulidis, the government and the Democratic Alarm “. They cancel, he added, all this criticism made by the two parties in the DISY government. “That is, that we are the government that brought the Cyprus issue to the worst situation ever and that we are the most corrupt government that has ever passed through the Republic of Cyprus. “So, the President rightly said that the justification of his policies is the choices of the opposition parties”, he added. </p>
<p> <strong> <em> “Undertaker” </em> <br /> </strong> > </p>
<p> <strong>Mavrogiannis was a technocrat. They did not make decisions as a negotiator. This is his and AKEL's argument. </strong> <br /> If we buried the Cyprus issue, what was the negotiator? The undertaker was. If he disagreed, why did he remain in the burial of the Cyprus problem, as AKEL said and says that it will support him? </p>
<p> <strong> AKEL says that it was informed in time by Mr. Mavrogiannis about the President's slips. br /> </strong>From & # 8217; everyone, the only one who differed on some issues, is me. You mentioned the tsunami. I have never heard either Mavrogiannis or Christodoulidis talk about what was coming. </p>
<p> <em> <strong> Elections </strong> <strong> Instagram </strong> <strong>; </</em> <strong> <br /> </strong> </p>
<p> <strong> But could the negotiator take a public position on the Cyprus issue? <br /> </strong>He is not a civil servant who was a negotiator. The appointment of a negotiator is political. To see my homeland destroyed, as AKEL used to say, that the Cyprus issue is being buried, and to remain a negotiator? He should have given up. I mean, now everyone will remember that they disagreed? And the Foreign Minister, what did he have to deal with? The Cyprus issue and passports. Do not forget that CIPA – the Cyprus Investment Promotion Agency – was under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. And there were heated discussions in the cabinet when he was about to leave the Ministry of Commerce to go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which ultimately had the responsibility of promoting passports. Well, if the Alarm government buried the Cyprus issue, one chooses the negotiator and the other the Foreign Minister, who was the Government Spokesman in Crans Montana and was never absent from any discussion on the Cyprus issue? And was it the right hand of President Anastasiadis? And if this government – which I neither embrace nor the other – is the most corrupt government ever, I understand that it is because of the decisions taken by the ministers of this government. And what will DIKO tell us? That today they are not corrupt? They will be called upon to respond to all this in the political dialogue and not think that we will let the elections go apolitical and hold elections on Instagram. Tomorrow, Christodoulidis will be supported by DIKO. Will DIKO continue to say that we are the most corrupt government? Shouldn't he answer if he agrees or disagrees? And let me tell you something else. He is independent, he remains on alert and will be the DIKO candidate. No further comments. </p>
<p> <strong> Why don't you delete him, since he is not disciplined by your party's decisions and divides the Alarm? </strong> <br /> He has chosen his path. He has chosen his path. Dot. </p>
<p> <strong> Well, you will tell us now that there was no corruption during the Anastasiadis government & # 8211; Alarm? <br /> </strong>I have said that I do not agree that the government of Nikos Anastasiadis and DISY is the most corrupt government that has ever passed through the country. There were signs of corruption and entanglement even before the government of Nikos Anastasiadis and DISY, they also existed in our government. And we hope that through institutional changes, such as absolute accountability and transparency, but also the clear institutionalization and definition of incompatibility, as well as the maturation of society, our political system and our democracy, its bad practices will be gradually eliminated. of the past. And do not forget that in this matter, many were taken to court and there were convictions. Do not expect a political leader to determine who will go to court. This is the work of the current Attorney General and we respect the independence of the Institution. </p>
<p> <em> <strong> Averof Neophytou expects that, during the pre-election period, President Anastasiadis will defend his legacy and his unity Democratic Alarm and reminds Anastasiadis that he was by his side in 2013 and 2018 </strong></em> </p>
<p> <strong> Will the President remain indifferent? </strong> </p>
<p>Asked whether he was satisfied with the support offered by the President of the Republic, in terms of his candidacy, Averof Neophytou reminded that President Anastasiadis, in his very recent interview with RIK, was clear. “In fact, he said that he does not support Averoff simply because he is a candidate of his party. He documented why he supports Averoff, “said the president of the Democratic Alarm. </p>
<p> <strong> Yes, but he noted that he will stay away from the election campaign. <br /> </strong>Unless provoked. And this election is full of challenges for a historic leader of the party, such as the President. The challenge is to defend its heritage, security and stability in the place, which is not a given from now on. Another challenge is to defend the unity of the Democratic Alarm. Will AKEL and DIKO continue to hit the President and DISY, will its former collaborators continue as they did for 9 years, and will the President remain indifferent? Do not forget that DISY and I personally did not stay away from Anastasiadis' pre-election campaign in 2013 and 2018. </p>
<p> <strong> <em> I entered the fire </em> <br /> </strong> </p>
<p> <strong> Why is there a reaction on your face in the world of Democratic Alarm? </strong> <br />That is, the rest of the traditional political leaders do not face the dissatisfaction of the people? Is there a reaction just for me? Those who are in the front line and give battles and have an opinion and say it about the Cyprus issue, the economy, the difficult social issues have them. I was the one who warned of the crisis that would come from 2008 to 2013. I did not get any credit for this correct prediction. The opposite. That 5 years I was the danger expert, even if I spoke correctly. Eventually, unfortunately, all that we had warned about came, and if I had listened, we would not have reached the haircuts or the financial disaster. Should we have let the country fall to the rocks in 2013? We had to make tough decisions to save the situation. That's what we did. But, they still had it with those who entered the fire. </p>
<p> <strong> <em> Behind everything </em> <br /> </strong> </p>
<p> < strong> Yes, but there is a feeling that you are behind & # 8217; all. Behind the banks, from the businessmen. </strong> <br />I'm glad you say that Averoff is under every stone. I have been in politics, in a state position since 1991, 31 years: mayor, MP, minister, party president. I'm been in the public, with a party post, since 1985. And I'm a guy who, from the beginning, everyone was, and still is, dealing with me. Everyone was targeting me, everyone was looking for something wrong, and many were mine. If I had the slightest thing, I would be hanged in Eleftherias Square. I was Minister of Communications in the Stock Exchange Rally when all the contracting companies went public. When Shipping Companies Listed & # 8211; I was also Minister of Shipping. An investigation was launched into the scandal. Was anything found for Averoff? Tassos Papadopoulos came out and ordered an investigation with a criminal investigator Stavrinakis, for the Cyprus Airways. Was the slightest thing found for Averoff? The search for the SUN? The surveys for 2013, for the collapse of the economy? We had after the investigations for the collapse of the Co-operation, the researches for the passports. No search was found for & # 8211; I was not even called to testify. So, for decades, some people raised boulders, not stones & # 8211; Averoff was nowhere to be found. I'm where there is a problem, yes, I'm in the fire, and I did both foreground and background. Not for Averoff, but to pass the necessary and tough bills for the salvation of the country. Did I have a personal benefit? We all had when the financial sector was supported & # 8211; not because the banks are ours, but because there can be no economy and no country without them. And in any case, did I have the absolute majority to determine the result of Parliament? We were a parliamentary minority government. We have worked with other parties, which I credit for the results, regardless of what their decision is for the presidential election. Couldn't I keep my distance if I was looking out for my own interests? Others destroyed the economy, I put my back to rebuild the country. </p>
<p> <strong> I meant that there is an opinion that you serve your friends, the bankers, your friends, the businessmen. <br /> </strong> > What service did I give them trying to save the economy? Of course I also supported the financial sector. Well, if there were no banks, would there be economy? And if there is no business world and private initiative, will there be economy? Will a state be able to function? </p>
<p> <strong>For the procedures, we say. If in some cases the correct and transparent procedures were followed. </strong> <br />Show me a wrong procedure. Do you mean that we should have closed all the banks? Did all businesses have to close? I stepped forward to find solutions to the problems of the place. I am not responsible for the haircut. I warned that we had to take action to avoid disaster, but no one listened. 27 billion non-performing loans were created. Compare the country today with the one we received in 2012. </p>
<p> <strong> <em> Young and & # 8230; tapers </em> <br /> </strong> </p>
<p> <strong> What do you have to say to the new generation, to the young people who today live in the children's rooms of their paternal homes and take them for a walk with the tapers of mom, why are their earnings not enough for something better? What do they have to expect if you are elected President? And why have not they seen this best, nine years now that you are in power. </strong> <br />I recognize the problems that every young person has – which, to tell the truth, is not only our problem, but everyone sees their own country. The world has been through a lot for the last 15 years. One crisis on another. Many financial problems, social problems, we had the health crisis. Yes, globally, the generation of 25-somethings and 40-somethings is the generation that has paid and is paying the highest cost. It's unfair, but it's true. But let's look at the big picture. Our country was able with the 2nd government of the Democratic Alarm -this time with Nikos Anastasiadis- to manage the financial crisis of 2013, to rebuild the economy, we had a management of the pandemic of the best in all of Europe, we had the financial ability to support the world. Can you imagine this global health crisis, finding our country at the financial levels of 2012? </p>
<p> <strong>Below; Is that the answer? Tell the young people you paid the cost, what to do, is that how life is? </strong> <br /> Is that what I said? I am not the man of beautifying everything, but I am also against nihilism and populism. When we took over an economy with 18% unemployment and today one of the main problems of the economy is finding human resources, you ask me what we did as a government. My answer is that through the growth of the economy, we have tried and created jobs. </p>
<p> <strong> <em> In the spotlight </em> <br /> </strong></p>
<p> <strong> Yes, you sent our young people, with their degrees, to </strong> <strong> supermarkets </strong> <strong> and </strong> <strong> malls </strong>.. </strong> <br />I did not say that the problems were solved. I said there is improvement. He was previously unemployed. It used to be in the grocery store. That is why we want now, after the rescue of the economy, after the health crisis, to see how we will better manage today's data. You see, we do not manage to manage crises & # 8211; Now came the energy crisis, to be precise, inflation, with the war in Ukraine. The government has announced programs to boost technology, research and innovation, youth entrepreneurship – there are housing programs. And the Democratic Alarm has young people at the heart of its policy, with access to affordable housing for all. </p>
<p> <strong> The </strong> <strong> Lady </strong><strong> <br /> </strong> </p>
<p> <strong> How will you remember Zeta Aimilianidou? <br /> </strong> The Lady. Zeta knew that the public service worked better than anyone else. She had judgment, she was solid, very smart, practical and effective. May her memory be eternal. </p>
<p> <strong> IN TWO WORDS ABEROF NEOFYTOU SAID: </strong> </p>
