and Peace'' held on the first day of the ''Third Peace
Festival''
organized by the Didim Municipality, it was reported
on Tuesday.
Kostas Andreou said, ''let's cry out
once more that our future,
ideal is peace. We want such an Aegean Sea which brings
happiness to
people living in the same geography.''
Pointing out that The Turkish and Greek peoples
want a single and
the same thing, Andreou said, ''we want the authorities
to listen to
our opinions. We want the authorities to spend millions
of dollars for
the well-being of people not for armament. We came here
for this
reason, we want peace not something else. We wish the
peace in the
world and the peace trees we planted here last year to
grow at the
same time.''
Hakan Tartan said in his part that
they want the authorities to
listen to their friendship messages.
''We, as the politicians, should conclude
the incomplete stage of
the politics. To this end, we have established a friendship
group
within the parliament to solve the Turkish-Greek problem.
We have 65
Turkish and Greek members. I was informed that my Greek
friends had
established a Greek-Turkish friendship group in Greece.
A definite
solution can be found if Cyprus, 12 miles and air space
issues are not put
forth in every talk,'' he stressed.
