We ask the State and the Government, to exhibit
real interest in the Greek Enclaved. Their
responsibilities is not exhausted in the Flour
and conserve tins that they send to the enclaved.
It is necessary:
1. That International Accusations be filed against
Turkey.
2. That the International Community and the
Foreign Governments be briefed in the Ethnic
Clearance affected in Karpasia.
3. That protection measures be taken for the
safety of the Greek enclaved people.
4. That the offspring of the enclaved and those
enclaved people now in the free areas, be helped
with employment.
Nobody, must forget that the enclaved people of
Rizokarpaso live under Turkish occupation.
