Anastasiades made it clear that none of the proposals listed went against the interests of the Republic. The leaders had decided on low-level CBMs that could be implemented quickly and without too much difficulty.
Party leaders had mixed feelings as they came out of the meeting on Thursday. The hardliners all spoke about premature optimism. Greens leader Giorgos Perdikis was “concerned about the “boundless enthusiasm that did not address the realities”. Also, he said the information they had received from the President was “brief and vague”.
DIKO leader Nicolas Papadopoulos said the party would oppose any measures that would downgrade the Republic and upgrade the breakaway state in the north. He said he would outline in detail the party’s objections to some of the CBMs shortly.
EVROKO also said it would wait to submit its response at the next council session.
“We should not jump the gun developments. The illusion that Turkey’s policy towards Cyprus has changed would be a big mistake,” the party said.
EDEK leader Marinos Sizopoulos said: “There is no need to cultivate optimism, given that the talks have not yet begun.”
Only DISY was positive, with AKEL “cautiously positive”. “One cannot ignore the hope this window has opened, ” said DISY leader Averof Neophytou.
AKEL chief Andros Kyprianou said his party would work with Anastasiades to play a positive and constructive role “We should make every effort, all of us to exploit in the best way this window of opportunity that has opened,” he said.
The National Council is due to convene again after Anastasiades’ next meeting with Turkish Cypriot leader Mustafa Akinci on June 17.
The proposed measures are:
The creation of a peace park, market bazaar or industrial area in the buffer zone
Extending the Pediaos river path to the north
To create a common space for cultural activity with a crossing at Paphos gate to attract visitors
Opening all crossings in the walled city of Nicosia
Reinforcement of the technical committees
Conservation of religious sites
Establishment of a committee for culture
Establishment of a committee on gender issues
Reinforcement of the committee on missing persons (CMP)
Improvement of the daily life of the enclaved Greek Cypriots in the breakaway state in providing health care, and also the renovation of the food storage building in Rizokarpasso
Opening crossings at Kaimakili, Dherynia, Pomos-Kato Pyrgos-Kokkina, Potamos-Kampou, and Lefka
Reducing military forces along the ceasefire line
Avoiding interference in radio frequencies
Solving outstanding issues relating to commercial vehicles to facilitate the Green Line Regulation while removing all barriers to trade between both sides
To allow access to experts to reconstruct and preserve cultural and religious monuments in Famagusta
Translating the website of the Financial Commissioner into Turkish
Linking of the electricity grids in three stages
