"We do not understand Mr Sizopoulos' reaction to our statement yesterday. We did not judge or condemn anyone, nor did we imply anything," AKEL says.
As it notes in a statement, at a time when society discredits politics and politicians because of the big problem of interconnection and corruption we face as a country, we consider it our duty to demand transparency and accountability for every issue that arises and involves public figures.
"This is what we ask for every time such issues are raised. That is what we have now asked the Attorney General's Office to explain a case it is handling that allegedly involves a public figure. For us the issue is not personal.
It is our belief that only through transparency and accountability can we address the disparagement and normally it should be a requirement first and foremost from the persons allegedly involved in the cases under consideration.
We also do not understand the reference by Mr. AKEL has made clear from the outset its desire for cooperation on the basis of principles of all forces that share the need to end the current government and achieve progressive change. Each political force is judged by its decisions and its general behaviour. The rest is beside the point."
