SOCIALISTS INITIATIVE consists of a broad spectrum of citizens who value that finding a solution to the Cyprus issue constitutes a necessity that can not be postponed or delayed any further.
SOCIALISTS INITIATIVE notes that the fruitless passage of time aggravates the Cyprus issue with tensions and crises in the interior and at the international level, resulting to further stabilization of the status quo, which is widely perceived and does not allow either disguise or relaxation, because it contains the danger of the division of our county.
SOCIALISTS INITIATIVE will face positively actions and positions that contribute to the strengthening the relation between the communities and help in the solution of the political problem. We will develop relations of understanding and cooperation between Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots with the view to shaping common targets and undertaking common actions for effective and immediate intervention aiming to promote the course of the overall solution of the Cyprus issue.
SOCIALISTS INITIATIVE regards that the only prospect remaining open, is contained in the principles discussed and agreed upon in the long consultations between the two communities and which are summarized in the “federal structure of a united Cyprus with two geographical and state zones and a political parity as defined by the United Nations, in the context of the European Unionâ€. The reference of two communities does not imply lack of recognition of the Maronite, Armenian and Latin communities which equally contribute in the configuration of the society and cultural form of modern Cyprus.
SOCIALISTS INITIATIVE envisions a Cyprus that will depend on the cooperation and mutual trust between the communities, without tensions, conflicts and racial confrontations. With contemplation of peace and democracy, cooperation rather than confrontation, it is possible to build together a multicultural society in the context of the European Union, away from nationalisms and chauvinist elations.
SOCIALISTS INITIATIVE will work for the development of a creative, constructive and mature dialogue for the deepening of democracy, away from anachronistic slogans and prejudices, doctrinal attitudes, surly approaches and antidemocratic behaviours. It will decisively confront divisional tendencies, divisive perceptions, racist positions and chauvinist attitudes which can have only one result, the completion of the destruction of our country.
The policy of reconciliation, the consistent sociopolitical action, transparency, the projection of truth, democratic dialogue and the correct valuation of the international factor are the basic preconditions which can define our course for a better future. Now is the time to conquer jointly the future of Cyprus in step with and with attention to the common principles and values.
