The President of the Republic Mr. Nicos Anastasiades received today, at the Presidential Palace, a delegation of the homogeneous organization AHEPA [AMERICAN HELLENIC EDUCATIONAL PROGRESSIVE ASSOCIATION].
According to Deputy Government Spokesperson, Nivi Parisinou, during the meeting, President Anastasiades, after thanking the President and members of AHEPA for the important role of the organization in further deepening the strategic cooperation between the Republic of Cyprus and the United States, provided an update on the Cyprus problem, on his proposal for the MOU and on the need to solve the problem on the basis of international law, Security Council resolutions and the European acquis.
The President of the Republic also referred to the illegal Turkish provocations in the Cypriot EEZ and in the occupied Famagusta. Developments in Ukraine were also discussed, with particular reference to Cyprus' principled position in support of the need for international law to prevail.
President Anastasiades also briefed on developments in the energy sector and on bilateral relations between Cyprus and the United States, which, he said, are perhaps at their best point since the establishment of the Republic of Cyprus. The President of the Republic stressed the importance of the trilateral cooperation mechanisms established jointly by Cyprus and Greece with neighbouring states, which aim to achieve conditions of peace, security, stability and prosperity in the Eastern Mediterranean region.
The meeting was attended by the Deputy Minister to the President Mr Kyriakos Kousios, the Commissioner for the Presidency Mr Fotis Fotiou and officials.
