“I’m ashamed and it has nothing to do with Immigration. Immigration is not the problem. We know very well who is involved in these things. We cannot protect our citizens, we cannot protect the tourists who come to this country. And I hope to hear answers” he pointed out characteristically, with the journalist of ERT, Manyana Kalogeraki, noting that “the failure of the operational plan of the police in this demonstration was recognized”.

Attack on tourists and step by an ambassador of an Arab country

The information that tourists of Arab origin were attacked, as well as that he received a tip about the incident, was disclosed by the Director General of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Cyprus Kyriakos P. Kouros through his post.

As Mr. Kouros reports: “I received a diploma from the ambassador of an Arab country yesterday. A number of its citizens, innocent visitors to our country, were among the victims of the incidents in Limassol, one quite seriously. They cut short the holidays to leave in a hurry, scared! I doubt they will ever come back.

For the first time I felt so embarrassed about an incident of this nature in our country. This is not the Cyprus where I was born, grew up, had a family, I am getting old! We should not have allowed it to develop into something so hideous. Perhaps beyond the discussion of responsibilities and actions, is it time to look back as thinking members of this society to personal introspection? To find out where and how this dangerous “snake egg” hatches? After all, isn’t the primary question posed in such matters whether the Cyprus we want is everyone’s responsibility?”
