Independent candidate for the Presidency of the Republic Achilleas Dimitriadis paid a visit on Sunday to occupied Kormakitis, where he met with the Maronite community.
A. Demetriades met with the Maronites and was informed about the problems they face in their occupied villages.
In his statements, Demetriades, after thanking all those who welcomed him so warmly and for their hospitality, wished "next time, during the Christmas holidays, that Kormakitis will become another village for Christmas".
He noted that the residents, "honouring the land of their fathers, keep it in order to give it to their children", while he also referred to the Multipurpose Centre being built in the village, describing it as another "nucleus to attract people to the village so that this marginal Christian area can continue to flourish and be a pole of attraction for people who love Cyprus".
For his part, Maronite Representative in the Parliament Yannakis Moussa, after welcoming Mr Demetriades, noted that the presidential candidate has many ties with the Maronite community and the occupied Kormakitis.
"We discussed all the issues that concern the people and the Maronite community. He also saw for himself the situation that is progressing and evolving and we have asked him to be on our side to make Kormakitis and Cyprus better," he added.
The President of the Board of Directors of the Multisite that will function as a school and host events, Antonis Skullos, expressed his hope for a closer cooperation with his "friend" Achilleas Demetriades - as he described him - noting that "he saw and felt what we are creating and what we hope to build here in Kormakitis."
"Achilleas fully understands us, he saw for himself and shares with us our vision for a better Kormakitis and a better Cyprus," he said.
