| Draft Transcript of the statements by the United Nations Under-Secretary General for Peacekeeping Operations, Mr Herve Ladsous, after his meeting today with the President of the Republic, Mr Nicos Anastasiades |

09/05/2013
 It was a great privilege to have had this opportunity, to have a conversation with His Excellency Mr Anastasiades. This is my first trip to Cyprus since I took up my duties as head of the department of peace keeping operations and UNFICYP has been, as you know, present for many decades in this country and I think is achieving a lot around the buffer zone and for the last many years has tried to work towards confidence and to solve all the daily difficulties that the communities face on both sides. Clearly this is also part of the wider picture.

It constitutes a sovereign right of the Republic of Cyprus to exploit in any way the resources in its EEZ.
Any statements attempting to postpone the exploitation of the energy resources in Cyprus’ EEZ enhance Turkish intransigence and do not help in the efforts for finding a solution to the Cyprus problem.

07/05/2013
It is indeed my honour and pleasure to be here today, and to have this opportunity to address you here, at this prestigious academic institution.
My aim today is to share with you my thoughts on the nature of the Cyprus –Israeli relations, present ways on moving this partnership forward and on how we can work together, not so much as neighbours due to our geographic proximity, but as willing friends that believe in the benefits which this bond of choice can provide to both.
Though I do not intend to dwell on the past, I ought to briefly place the relationship between Cyprus and Israel in its historical context. Indeed, it is truly a historic relationship. It is characterised by inter-related interests, mutual friendship and a thousands of recorded exchanges, encompassing the realms of economy, trade and culture and extending throughout the social structures, the economic circles and the political life of the two peoples.

| Televised Easter Message by the President of the Republic |

04/05/2013
Fellow compatriots,
This yearʼs Easter finds our people under unprecedented economic conditions. The economic stability and growth of nearly four decades that came after the Turkish invasion were replaced by an unprecedented economic crisis.
Diachronic mistakes for decades, the omissions, the negligence and the indecision of the recent past on the domestic front, as well as the unheard of treatment our country was subjected to by its partners and lenders abroad have led Cyprus to levels of economic destitution.
