Mayor of Famagusta organizes anti-occupation rally.

by Christos T. Panagopoulos

Famagusta Municipality has asked the support of Famagusta citizens, other refugees and all the people of Cyprus requesting, through the town’s Mayor, Alexis Galanos, their presence at the anti-occupation rally to take place on August 3rd in Dherynia village, which borders the Turkish occupied town of Famagusta.

Speaking to the press about the rally under the slogan “Famagusta Now”, to be addressed by Cyprus President, Nicos Anastasiades, Galanos noted that recently there has been some movement on the issue of Famagusta both at the US and on a European level, with the linking of the opening of chapters 23 and 24 in the EU accession negotiations with Turkey with the Cyprus problem and particularly the issue of Famagusta.


“We address the issue of Famagusta, despite the difficulties and the huge financial problems of the country, with optimism”, he noted and added that “there is great sensitivity in Europe on the issue of Famagusta”.
