Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras on Thursday stressed the need to resume viable and credible talks on the Middle East issue in order to ensure the right of the citizens of the State of Israel to live in security and the right of Palestinians to have their own viable state.
Moreover, he said that it is imperative to find a fair and viable solution to the Cyprus problem and expressed once again his support to the efforts of Cyprus President Nicos Anastasiades for such a solution.
He also referred to the situation in Syria saying that recent developments are tragic. “The security climate in the region continues to deteriorate and the last we need is aggressive voices that undermine regional stability or prevent building confidence on the basis of mutual respect in our region.”
Regarding terrorism, he said: “The attacks in Europe, the Middle East and Africa reaffirm that terrorism is a major global threat. Addressing this threat requires concerted efforts and enhanced cooperation on the part of the international community.”
In his statement, the President of the Republic of Cyprus, Nicos Anastasiades, expressed his position for a fair and viable solution to the Cyprus problem based on the UN resolutions and the principles and values of the European Union (EU). The solution, he said, should not include occupation troops or security or invasive guarantees.
Anastasiades also stressed that a solution must be found to the Middle East that guarantees the rights of Israelis and the State of Palestine.
