Tassos Papadopoulos, the president of the Republic of Cyprus, also considers the accord a success because it will end the 30-year dispute and help boost the economy, as defence budgets will shrink and cheaper labour will become available.
Tasos Papadopulos, predsednik Republike Kipar, takođe smatra da sporazum predstavlja uspeh, zato što će se njime okončati 30-godišnji spor i pomoći jačanje ekonomije, s obzirom da će budžeti za odbranu biti smanjeni, a jeftinija radna snaga postati dostupna.
