7 September, 2016A report published by Simerini, a Greek Cypriot newspaper, has outlined that Greek Cypriot political parties are concerned about convergences reached and proposals made in the negotiations, as set out in the official records at the Greek Cypriot Presidential Palace.
According to the report, the Leader of Citizens Alliance in South Cyprus Yorgos Lillikas, sent a letter to Greek Cypriot Leader Nikos Anastasiades asking for his reasons for accepting the figure of 220,000 Turkish Cypriot citizens.
Mr Anastasiades said in response that the number of registered Greek Cypriots in the Greek Cypriot Statistical Office was intentionally increased to 800,000 from 667,000 in order to legitimize 100,000 citizens of Republic of Turkey origin.
