The Turkish provocations are expected to culminate in the military parade in the occupied territories in the presence of Erdoğan himself at the moment when the Prime Minister, Kyriakos Mitsotakis, will be in Nicosia. In fact, Kyriakos Mitsotakis will become the first Greek Prime Minister, who will be at an anti-occupation event in Cyprus on July 20, in 50 years.

According to the program on behalf of the Greek government will attend the memorial service for the fallen Officers and Soldiers during the Turkish invasion of Makedonitissa Military Cemetery the Deputy Minister of National Defence, Giannis Kefalogiannis accompanied by the Chief GEETHA General Dimitrios Houpi.

The greeting he will address is awaited with great interest Kyriakos Mitsotakis at the event of the President of the Republic of Cyprus, Nikos Christoulidis at the Presidential Palace, at 8.00 in the evening.

The main point is the resumption of talks under the United Nations with the participation of the EU, the President stressed Nikos Christodoulidis answering a related question of his enikos.gr at the memorial event that took place last night at Panorama of the missing in Kornos.

“Whether some people want it or not, the EU is part of the Cyprus solution. The Republic of Cyprus is a member state of the EU, it will continue to be even after a possible solution of the Cyprus problem and I really believe, I have the strong conviction, taking into account my experience from the negotiation process, that in those matters where there is a difference of opinion between the two sides, there is a solution. And this solution comes from the EU itself.”

Asked to comment on statements from the Turkish side such as “we will come in the evening” and asked if he is worried about the creation of new executions, the President of the Republic said that “the passage of time, in general, not only these days, creates new fait accompli, makes negotiation difficult, removes the prospect of resolving the Cyprus issue and we know this very well. At the same time, the present state of affairs cannot be the future of this country, and it is for this that we are doing everything possible, I repeat, to lead in the resolution of the Cyprus issue».

They were gathered at the event relatives of missing persons who for half a century now are looking to learn something about the fate of their own people.
