TRNCPIO - Mayor of Famagusta, Oktay Kayalp, stated that despite its points of objection, the draft report of Varosia prepared by the Appeal Committee of the European Parliament (EP), was balanced in its primary points and expressed his expectation that this balance is reflected within the final report.
Kayalp pointed out that the draft report invokes the remittance of Varosia through a comprehensive settlement, and reported that this is a pleasing development.
Kayalp mentioned of the diffidence of the Greek Cypriot lobby in having the draft report accepted with its current state, and concluded that the arbitration of the report is a political tactic aiming to win time.
