A viable solution to Cyprus problem the only way, Education Minister says

The only way is to find a viable and functional solution to the Cyprus problem, said the Minister of Education, Sports and Youth, Athena Michaelidou, who addressed the concert "Odes of Famagusta", organised by the Cyprus Research Centre (CRC) on Tuesday.

"In this direction, the only way is to find a sustainable and functional solution, which will allow the overall settlement of the Cyprus issue", underlined the Minister.

"Only through a solution that will reunite our country, freeing it from the occupying armies, the anachronistic guarantee treaties and the invasive rights of third countries, will justice prevail in our country," she indicated.

Cyprus has been divided since 1974, when Turkey invaded and occupied its northern third. Repeated rounds of UN-led peace talks have so far failed to yield results. The latest round of negotiations, in July 2017 at the Swiss resort of Crans-Montana ended inconclusively.
