These are indeed historically significant times we are living in. The situation is quite strained regionally and internationally. I believe that the challenges are great. In the context of our common understanding and shared view regarding the way our national interests should be promoted, we should ensure that the Cyprus issue receives the just, viable solution that we all want. I believe this is another historic opportunity to attempt, within the framework of the United Nations and the European Union, which appears to be taking a more active role thanks to your personal efforts and the Prime Minister of Greece’s support. I think that the times will demonstrate that it is a great challenge but also a significant opportunity.
