DISI’s decision caused discussions

 

It was stated that Greek Cypriot DISI party has started efforts to postpone the general elections to be held in  South Cyprus in May and this caused discussions between the other political parties.

 In his statement, DISI Deputy Nikos Tornaritis said that the national case is more important than the elections that’s why they consider to postpone the general elections to March due to the Cyprus negotiations. Tornaritis also said that they will offer this suggestion at the General Assembly of DISI to be held on 31 January.

AKEL Polit Bureau member Stefanos Stefanu reacted to the statement of DISI Deputy Nikos Tornaritis and said that in recent years, DISI sacrificed the Cyprus problem for the interest of the party and in the event of reaching a solution in Cyprus, AKEL will be the first party which will be pleased.

In the statement of DIKO, it was stressed that “If Tornaritis expresses that the general elections should be postponed due to the developments on the Cyprus problem, he should inform us about the developments.”

Furthermore, EDEK and EURO.KO parties blamed DISI for trying to create different impressions.
