The struggle will continue until all people in Cyprus can live in conditions of security and dignity, said on Friday Interior Minister Nicos Nouris at the unveiling ceremony in Limassol of a memorial for those missing or killed during the 1974 Turkish invasion.

He said the President of the Republic is making all efforts to restart negotiations to achieve a comprehensive settlement of the Cyprus problem, for a bizonal, bicommunal federation with political equality as defined by UN Security Council resolutions and the principles and values of the EU.
