No blackmails, threats or pressure can be accepted on the Cyprus issue, President of the Republic Nicos Anastasiades said on Friday, speaking during a dinner hosted by the diaspora in New York city.
He reassured the diaspora federations on his will and determination to solve the Cyprus problem based on principles that will lead to a functional and viable solution that will safeguard the independence of the island.
The President praised the role of the diaspora in the US, saying that most Cypriots are there as a result of the 1974 Turkish invasion and made the US their second homeland.
