Anastasiades Urges Nation to Cast European Election Votes
Cypriot President Nicos Anastasiades has urged all of his citizens to participate in the upcoming European elections, scheduled for May 25th.
On Sunday, he declared,"...we have the same say and we are equal partners in the EU". Remarking on the recent joint statement between himself and Turkish Cypriot leader Dervis Eroglu and on the Cyprus issue, Anstasiades highlighted the importance of a united front. The President believes the collaborative comments will promote a Cypriot solution, built on European values and principles.
Anastasiades further remarked, "This is why we are working hard and will continue to work even harder in order to meet the expectations of all the people of Cyprus and not only of DISY supporters". He stressed the importance of learning from the past, but continuing to look to the future. The Cypriot President commented, "We believed and still believe that Europe remains the answer". Next week, President Anastasiades is scheduled to travel to Germany to meet with Chancellor Angela Merkel.
