Insolence has no limits, President of the Republic Nicos Anastasiades said today, commenting on the reaction of the Turkish Cypriot leadership to yesterday's UN Security Council resolution on UNFICYP, while expressing his satisfaction with the resolution.
In his statements to journalists, on the sidelines of the inauguration ceremony of the new building of the Famagusta District Court, and asked to comment on the UN Security Council resolution on the renewal of UNFICYP's mandate, the President said that "I believe that it meets to the maximum extent the demands of the Republic of Cyprus, but also what the international rules dictate and therefore I express my satisfaction".
Asked to comment on the reactions from the Turkish Cypriot side, the President said that "all their lives, not only do they not just react, but they act against the rules of international law. Therefore, I am not surprised by their behaviour if you just consider that in violation of UN resolutions they are claiming a change of base, despite what was agreed at the Summit level, despite the pile of resolutions, despite the condemnations by the ECHR. The audacity has no limits."
Finally, asked to refer to his earlier statement in which he said that measures would be taken to combat violence in stadiums, the President said that "I have given instructions to study the measures and a report will be submitted to me so that decisions can be taken".
