The University of Cyprus has decided to proceed with the retirement of Niyazi Kiziljirek.
The Rector of the University, Tasos Christofides, said in a written statement that "because it is considered that the letter of the law has been violated, the University of Cyprus, through its Council, has decided to proceed with the retirement of his colleague Niyazi Kiziljirek, so that if he wishes to do so, he can appeal to the courts and the issue regarding the constitutionality of the 2004 law can be decided in court".
He also points out that "the University of Cyprus considers that it has not violated the essence and spirit of the law concerning the incompatibility between the position of Member of the European Parliament and that of Professor on leave without pay".
