AWARD: ARMENIA PARLIAMENT HONOURS CYPRUS MEP
13 October, 2014
The National Assembly of Armenia has awarded Cypriot MEP Eleni
Theocharous, who was visiting Armenia last week, with the Medal of
Honour for her support to the Armenian nation.
________________________________
The medal was presented to Theocharous by the National Assembly
President Galust Sahakyan "who praised her for her humanitarian action
in difficult times for the people of Armenia", a press release issued
by the MEPs office said.
"Your humanitarian action is transferred on a political level, mainly
in the European Parliament where you defend justice, democracy and
the people of Armenia", he told her.
On her part Theocharous said that she feels at home when she visits
Armenia, adding that especially when in Nagorno Karabakh she feels
the Armenian people's struggle for freedom and has taken a lot from
Armenians "above all how to become a better person".
During her visit to Armenia, the Cypriot MEP had meetings with
President Serzh Sargyan and Chairman of the Parliamentary Committee
on Foreign Affairs Artak Zakaryan.
She briefed the Armenian officials on developments in Cyprus, including
Turkey's recent provocative actions by challenging the sovereignty of
the Cyprus Exclusive Economic Zone where U.S., French, Italian, Korean
and Israeli multinational companies are exploring for natural gas.
"Turkey occupies half of Cyprus and now wants to have its natural gas",
she said, adding that "we will resist".
At the same time Theocharous also explained why Cyprus President
Nicos Anastasiades decided last week to suspend his participation to
the UN backed negotiations aiming to reunify the country.
President Anastasiades announced last Tuesday a decision to suspend
his participation to the UN backed negotiations, following Turkey's
most recent violation of Cyprus' sovereign rights in its EEZ and its
decision to carry out a seismic survey in specific blocks, assigned
to international companies within the Republic of Cyprus EEZ.
