The UN Secretary General refers to our bi-communal mobilisations

Q: Mr. Secretary-General, you just went to Cyprus – it was a very historic trip. But, from here, when we watched it, the Greek Cypriot didn’t seem very happy, and, in fact, they made it very obvious. What are the outcomes, the positive outcomes of your trip? And what do you think of the Greek Cypriot position on that? Thanks.

SG: You should know that the last visit of a Secretary-General was in 2003, therefore my visit was after a 7-year interval. I was very much encouraged by such a strong commitment by both leaders to continue their negotiations. And I was again, very much encouraged and touched by the strong support of the people from both sides who were chanting, in unison, shouting “resolution now.” These were all the loud and clear voices from the general population, regardless of where they were from, both Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot. That was quite moving for me. I felt a strong sense of responsibility [about] what the United Nations can do more to facilitate this Cypriot-led and Cypriot-owned negotiation. My observation was that a solution was possible and a solution was within reach, and, in fact, they made significant progress in power-sharing and governance. I was quite encouraged by this. Of course, there are many more important issues: property; border and security issues. I hope they will continue. President Dimitris Christofias told me that he will issue some sort of plan for further negotiations, despite this planned [Turkish Cypriot] election, and that is quite encouraging. And I am going to have my special adviser, Alexander Downer, continuously engaged, so that this negotiation will be facilitated.

Birleşik Kıbrıs Barış İnisiyatifi: Önerge. Δικοινοτική Πρωτοβουλία Ειρήνης Ενωμένης Κύπρου: Ψήφισμα

Στη συνάντηση που οργανώθηκε από τη Δικοινοτική Πρωτοβουλία Ειρήνης Ενωμένης Κύπρου την Τρίτη 26.01.00 εγκρίθηκε το παρακάτω ψήφισμα:

1. Καλούμε τους Κυπρίους ηγέτες των δύο κοινοτήτων να προχωρήσουν θαρραλέα, άμεσα κι αποφασιστικά σε συμβιβαστική λύση στην βάση των ήδη συμφωνημένων αρχών. Η μόνη ηθική επιλογή της εποχής μας σήμερα, η επιλογή ελπίδας για τις μελλοντικές γενεές είναι ο συμβιβασμός που δεν είναι άλλος από την οικοδόμηση μιας διζωνικής, δικοινοτικής Ενωμένης Ομοσπονδιακής Κύπρου με μια διεθνή προσωπικότητα, μια ιθαγένεια και μια κυριαρχία, βασισμένη στην πολιτική ισότητα των δυο κοινοτήτων. Γι’ αυτό έκκληση μας είναι όπως οι δύο ηγέτες εντατικοποιήσουν τις συνομιλίες μέχρι την εξεύρεση λύσης.

2. Είμαστε αντίθετοι με τις λογικές του κατατεμαχισμού, της διχοτόμησης και του εθνοτικού ή εθνικού ηγεμονισμού και σοβινισμού που ωθεί προς το μίσος, τη διαίρεση και το ρατσισμό.

3. Χαιρετίζουμε την κάθοδο του ΓΓ του ΟΗΕ, τον οποίο και καλωσορίζουμε στην μοιρασμένη μας χώρα με την ελπίδα ότι η κάθοδος του θα επιταχύνει την δυναμική για άμεση λύση. Έκκληση μας στον ΓΓ και τη διεθνή κοινότητα να στηρίξουν τη διαδικασία των συνομιλιών, οι οποίες είμαστε σίγουροι ότι θα καρποφορήσουν.

Από την πλευρά μας εμείς δηλώνουμε αποφασιστικά παρόν στον αγώνα για την επανένωση που είναι υπόθεση όλων των κυπρίων: τούτη η χώρα είναι δική μας και θα την επανενώσουμε


ÖNERGE


İki Toplumlu Birleşik Kıbrıs Barış İnisiyatifi’nin 26 Ocak 2010 Salı akşamı düzenlemiş olduğu toplantıda şu önerge üzerinde uzlaşmaya varılmıştır:

1. Kıbrıs’taki iki toplumun liderlerine cesaretli, kararlı ve seri bir şekilde ilerlemeleri ve üzerinde anlaşılmış prensipler çerçevesinde bir çözüme ulaşmaları için çağrıda bulunuruz. Bugün Kıbrıs için sözkonusu olabilecek tek ahlaki seçim, gelecek nesiller için umudu içeren tercih; karşılıklı uzlaşmaya, siyasal eşitliğe, tek egemenlik, vatandaşlık ve uluslararası temsiliyete dayalı iki- bölgeli, iki-toplumlu federasyondan başka birşey değildir. Bu yüzden liderlere bir çözüme ulaşmak üzere görüşmelerini yoğunlaştırmaları için çağrıda bulunuyoruz.



2. Nefret, ayrılıkçılık ve ırkçılığa yol açan etnik/milliyetçiliğin egemenliğine ve bölücülük mantığına karşıyız.



3. Birleşmiş Milletler Genel Sekreterinin tasarlanan ziyaretini selamlar, varlığının ivedi bir çözüm için gereken ivmeyi sağlaması umuduyla kendisini bölünmüş ülkemizde samimiyet ve nezaketle karşılarız.


Bizler, tüm Kıbrıslıların mücadelesi olan, yeniden birleşme yönündeki mücalemizi sürdüreceğimizi duyururuz. Bu ülke bizimdir ve biz onu yeniden birleştireceğiz.
