VISIT OF MAYORS OF FAMAGUSTA, KYTHREA, MORPHOU, LAPITHOS, AND LEFKONIKO

Motion Text

leave out from 'however' to end and add ' that whereas the Berlin Wall was erected by the former Soviet regime to prevent East Germans joining their relatives in the West, the wall in Nicosia was erected by Turkish Cypriots to defend themselves from genocidal attacks upon them by Greek Cypriots in 1963, repeated in 1967, and repeated again in 1974; condemns attempts to make misleading comparisons between Nicosia and Berlin, and looks forward to the day when such trust and confidence has been established between Turkish Cypriots and Greek Cypriots that fortifications will no longer be necessary.'.
