Handshake between Martin SCHULZ, EP President and Nicos ANASTASIADES, President of the Republic of Cyprus

SOUNDBITE (English), Nicos ANASTASIADES, President of the Republic of Cyprus, President SCHULZ and I agree that the Cyprus problem is a European problem, and that the solution should be in line with the principles and values of the EU.

SOUNDBITE (English), Nicos ANASTASIADES, President of the Republic of Cyprus, it is high time for Turkey to fulfill its obligation vis-a-vis the EU, which will pave the way for progress in Turkey's European path, and as I have explained to you, we are in favour much more than anyone for Turkey's accession process.

SOUNDBITE (English), Martin SCHULZ, EP President, A solution here would be in a time of deep crisis, a multiple crisis, a signal of hope, a signal of courage. A signal that the EU, and an important Member State of the EU, by the way a geo-strategically important Member State of the EU, looking to your direct neighbourhood, and the role that a unified Cyprus could play as a stabilising element in the whole region, that would be a signal of hope. Therefore I am here to express our full support.

SOUNDBITE (English), Martin SCHULZ, EP President, I am here to lend my full support to the remarkable progress that has been made in Cyprus, especially during the last year. This is an enormous progress, two years ago nobody would have believed we are where we are , but we have not concluded: And therefore on the way ahead I want to express once more the support of the European Parliament.
