President Anastasiades travels to Greece on Wednesday to hold meetings with Premier and President of the Republic

President of the Republic, Nicos Anastasiades, is travelling to Athens on Wednesday for meetings with Premier, Kyriakos Mitsotakis, and President of the Republic, Katerina Sakellaropoulou.

He will also lay the foundation of various projects at the area of Mati, Attica region, which was destroyed by the catastrophic fires in 2018.

An announcement by the head of his press office, Andreas Iosif, says that the President will discuss with the Greek Prime Minister and the President of the Greek Republic the Turkish provocations and stance which does not allow for a constructive dialogue for the Cyprus problem to take place.

They are expected to condemn, once again, Turkey’s stance for a two-state solution in Cyprus and to underline that no solution can be accepted if it deviates from the framework the UN resolutions have set or the European acquis.

Education Ministers of Greece and Cyprus will also sign an agreement for the mutual accreditation of academic study titles.

The President will also visit Mati area to lay the foundation of numerous projects for the reconstruction and revamping of the area destroyed by the fires in 2018.

The projects are estimated to cost 12 mln euro of which 11 mln is the donation of the Cyprus government and the rest is from Cyprus citizens.

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.
