President Mustafa Akıncı said that the arrival of water has a great importance but we should also preserve our resources.
Receiving the Union Platform delegation under the head of Arslan Bıçaklı, Akıncı said that the water issue is not an issue which can be solved without Municipalities.
Reminding of the term when he was a Mayor, President Akıncı said that between the years of 1976-1990, water affairs were not under the authority of Lefkoşa Turkish Municipality but following the end of his mission, within one year, water affairs were brought under the authority of Municipalities. Akıncı stressed that the water issue cannot be solved without Municipalities and added that his attitude is certain on this issue.
