"Mr President, Cyprus keeps the tradition of the Apostles Paul and Barnabas alive, and that is reason enough for us to be sympathetic towards you. Moreover, the bullying Turkish occupation of a considerable part of your island makes us inclined to support you.
However, Cyprus must not wander off towards Russia. The fact, President Christofias, that you studied in Moscow must not result in too great a dependence on Mr Putin. You must be well aware that if you give him an inch he will take a mile.
Let Cyprus turn to Europe, above all for financial assistance, and, of course, let it get its own house in order first of all. The pressing question, after all, is what supervision did Cyprus perform on the banks operating there? How was it possible for various banks in Cyprus to get in so much trouble? That cannot simply be explained by the deep ties with Greece.
In closing, I would like to wish you good luck and hope that you enjoyed a blessed Presidency."@en1
