What is needed is political will and to look ahead, to realize that the current state of affairs does not work for the benefit of the Cypriot people, President of the Republic Nikos Christodoulides said in his remarks at the inauguration ceremony of the Larnaca Municipal Art Gallery on Tuesday evening. On the statements of Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, he said that Russia, as a Permanent Member of the United Nations Security Council, is also among the protagonists of the resolutions on the basis of the solution to the Cyprus problem, the bizonal, bicommunal federation. “I believe that the statements by the Russian Foreign Minister were made in this context”, he added.
