| Statements by the President after the memorial service for the fallen of the Turkish invasion |
| | 20/07/2014
The President of the Republic, Mr Nicos Anastasiades, speaking after the memorial service for the fallen during the Turkish invasion, organized by the National Guard and the Defence Ministry, at the Tomb of Makedonitissa, said the following:
"Forty years are enough for everyone. For us but also for Turkey and the Turkish Cypriots to realize that the solution will be to the benefit of all our people. But especially the prospects that are opening up for future generations, ensuring the future and generally ensuring their existence on the land that gave birth to us, I believe that these impose, at least on those who so far refused to accept it, and I mean primarily Turkey and some circles of the Turkish Cypriot community, that it's time to think positively and to create what our country deserves.
