Disappointment also prevails in the ranks of the Democratic Party over Zelenski's failure to mention the Turkish invasion.
Specifically, in a statement, DIKO said that "with regard to the speech of the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky to the House of Representatives, we as the Democratic Party consider that the House rightly accepted his request to address it, as we as a country and as a people have experienced the invasion and occupation and we had to listen to him and express our solidarity with the Ukrainian people for what they are experiencing today."
"At the same time, however, we must express our great disappointment at the Ukrainian President's failure to mention the Turkish invasion. As a victim of the Turkish atrocities of 1974 and as a victim of invasion and occupation until today, the Cypriot people are perhaps the only European people who can truly understand the consequences of this war."
"We would like Mr. Zelenski should have referred to the Turkish invasion, acknowledging what Cyprus, a country to which he addressed himself to ask for support, has experienced and is still experiencing", DIKO concludes.
