The President of the Republic Mr.Nicos Christodoulides received the former President of the Republic Mr.Nicos Anastasiades at the Presidential Palace this afternoon.
After the meeting, Mr. Anastasiades told reporters that "I had a very friendly and creative meeting with the President."
We discussed the latest developments regarding the Cyprus problem, energy and domestic issues. And I am glad because the policies that are being pursued create the prospects for continued successful governance, but also with new ideas, which are always welcome. And it is also to be expected to see policy changes in certain areas that may be more creative. Therefore, I want to express my absolute satisfaction with the meeting."
Asked whether he foresees developments regarding the President's proposal for a more active involvement of the EU in the Cyprus problem, the former President of the Republic said that "it is an effort, I believe, in the right direction. It is an important move forward, let us not forget that also as a result of the policy we followed at that time in Crans Montana, the EU was present for the first time.
Therefore, a special representative who will have a role, so that any solution will create a state that is in line with the European acquis, with the protection of human rights and so on, will not be for the benefit of one community, but for the benefit of both. It will not only benefit the Greek Cypriot side, but also the Turkish Cypriot side and especially Turkey.
Therefore, it is a goal that is being set, and with perseverance, that is, efforts, we hope that it will succeed."
Asked to refer to the situation between the Legal and Audit Services, Mr. Anastasiades said that he does not wish to comment on "anything that is foreign to my new duties and these are to monitor and where I can advise.
Apart from that I do not want to get involved in matters that I should not be involved in.
What I want to say is this: Everyone should know what the Constitution provides and the Constitution is clear. Misinterpretations, overreaching, arbitrary, I don't think anyone is allowed."
