It is with great pleasure that I am here today, together with all of you, my fellow countrymen, at a festival-institution for our Morphou, which returns after three years of absence, to awaken beautiful memories for the older ones and to pass on to the younger ones the tradition and customs of our occupied Morphou.
This year marks 49 years away from our beloved villages. For 49 years, we are obliged today to revive our tradition and history away from our beloved town. The difficulties and obstacles posed by Turkey continue to hinder the resumption of negotiations, despite the political will and determination shown by the Greek Cypriot side.
Through a series of initiatives developed by the President of the Republic since taking office, we seek to return to the dialogue table as soon as possible, on the basis of the agreed framework and with respect for the principles and values of the European Union and international law.
Through a series of initiatives developed by the President of the Republic since taking office, we seek to return to the dialogue table as soon as possible, on the basis of the agreed framework and with respect for the principles and values of the European Union and international law. President Christodoulides' contacts, both within the European family and with our international partners, are aimed at strengthening the effort to resume the talks and find a viable and workable solution, in accordance with United Nations resolutions and European law.
President Christodoulides' aim is for the European Union to become more actively involved in the effort to break the deadlock caused by Turkish intransigence. Within the framework of the United Nations Security Council Resolutions, and by acting in a complementary and supplementary manner by using its economic and political tools, the European Union can ensure that there will be concrete results and facts that will lead to the resumption of talks and the final settlement of the Cyprus problem for the benefit of the entire Cypriot people.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
The will and readiness of the Greek Cypriot side to return to the talks is undeniable. We are working tirelessly and methodically, with our main objective being to reach a solution that will allow us to live in security and peace in our beloved Morphou, Kyrenia, Famagusta and Messaria.
I would like to thank you for your invitation to attend tonight's celebration and to congratulate the Mayor and the members of his Municipal Council for their initiative to organize the Morphou Festival again.
