Geopolitics professor Ioannis Mazis was hosted in “Sections on the info”, who commented strongly on the latest statements of the Greek Minister of International Affairs, Giorgos Gerapetritis, on the Cyprus difficulty.
Specifically, the skilled said that “the idea of bravery that my academics taught me is totally totally different, diametrically totally different from the bravery invoked by Mr. Gerapetritis. Quite the opposite, the foremost concessions that the Republic of Cyprus should make based on the phrases of Christodoulidis within the interview he gave to the newspaper Politis, which I listened to with nice consideration, I believe it’s time to see them applied. Additionally, what Christodoulidis mentioned once more in the identical interview, was that we should make sure that to grasp that Turkey will get greater than what it has as we speak.”
He added that “not as soon as did I hear the phrase invasion and occupation, as if all that KD and Hellenism is presently residing by means of, fell to us from some star in outer house. As if there was no historic succession that introduced us right here. As if we forgot that worldwide legislation denounces invasion and occupation. It's as if we forgot what the assure treaty and the safety treaty say within the Cypriot structure. As if the Turks rightfully stay after no matter restoration of democracy occurred on the island. As if there weren't at the very least seven worldwide crimes in opposition to humanity and conflict crimes dedicated in opposition to the physique of the Republic of Cyprus and all these which, as you recognize based mostly on their worldwide utilization, will not be statute-barred, they don’t seem to be statute-barred, we put all these below the carpet they usually ask us for bravery, listen-listen, bravery in concessions. I’ve a unique thought of bravery.”
He famous that “if now we have braveness, at the very least we declare first, not giving up our rights based mostly on worldwide legislation. Invasion, occupation and at the very least seven worldwide crimes dedicated by Turkey in opposition to Cyprus and recorded by worldwide judicial our bodies, worldwide organizations and the UN, which, as you possibly can see, doesn’t present any explicit Greek worship…
Lastly, he said that “if we don’t declare these items even on the stage of worldwide legislation, if now we have forgotten that every one of Cyprus is a member of the EU, we Europeanists, I seek advice from Mr. Christodoulidis, who instructed us that they’re Europeanists and that they may resolve the Cyprus difficulty on the premise of European political and authorized tradition, that Cyprus is a full member… we forgot these and we ask for bravery from whom? Of these, they nonetheless haven't discovered the 1500 lacking? Of those that mourn, of moms who’re nonetheless alive and mourn their youngsters? Of those that dwell the destruction of their cultural monuments? Of those that confronted the crime of rape and destruction? Of those that have been murdered and misplaced their properties? Who do they ask for extra bravery? Who is that this courageous man, who comes to show this individuals, the Cypriot individuals, about bravery?”
