[01] Cooperation between Greece, Cyprus and Egypt is upgraded, FM
Venizelos says
NICOSIA (ANA-MPA/A. Viketos) - The trilateral cooperation between Greece,
Cyprus and Egypt has been underway for some time now and this is the
third ministerial meeting that we are holding in preparation for the
first Summit Meeting, which will take place in a few days in Cairo,
Government Vice-President and Foreign Minister Evangelos Venizelos said
upon his arrival in Nicosia.
"So we are upgrading our cooperation due to the crises, as well, that
are currently present throughout the region," he noted.
Moreover, he said "this is a very important moment for the Republic of
Cyprus, because we have the Turkish provocation, the disputing of the
existence and legal personality of the Republic of Cyprus, along with
its sovereign rights,"
The Foreign minister made clear that the international community must
give a clear response, which Turkey must comprehend. The trilateral
cooperation, he said, is not cooperation hostile to Turkey. It is
cooperation that is aimed at the stabilization and prosperity of the
region. "Just as we can cooperate with Egypt and, naturally, Greece
with Cyprus, so must Turkey learn that there is the path of consensus,
of cooperation, of respect for international legality. This is of very
great importance," he concluded.
Venizelos on Wednesday morning will be received by the Cyprus President
Nicos Anastasiades.
