Turkey is not claiming two states, but is claiming the whole of Cyprus, DIKO MP Zacharias Koulias said, speaking on Wednesday before the plenary session of parliament during the debate on the state budget for 2023.He called the government's claims that it would force Turkey to come to the negotiating table "summer night dreams".
According to Zacharias Koulias, Turkey "not only did not come to the table, but with the policies we implemented we became the springboard to consolidate the fait accompli," noting that "it is building our territories, it entered Varosha, it entered the buffer zone, it does what it wants and instead of denouncing it to our partners in Europe we are almost silent."
Referring to illegal immigration, Mr. Koulias described the situation as "dramatic", saying that it "significantly affects the security, health, education, economy and demography of the country", while on settlement, he said that the governments of the last five years have done nothing at all, noting that "in a place where settlement is a war crime, the governments of the two major parties drank the silent water."
