 A two-day meeting of Greek Cypriots (GC) and Turkish Cypriots (TC) was held in mid-September at the Ledra Palace Hotel (a hotel located in the buffer zone and monitored by UNFICYP) to discuss ways of "citizen participation in the Federation". The meeting was organised by a group of Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot intellectuals from the broader reformist left who [[en:magazines:entostonteixon:no_41:berlin| first met last winter in Berlin]] under the auspices of an organisation of the German Green Party. After the first meeting in Berlin, it was decided to continue and expand the contacts through further meetings in Ledra Palace (again under the auspices of the German Greens). The Greek Cypriot group undertook to send some 40 invitations to Cypriots. The invitations to the Greek Cypriots were sent by name in order to exclude from the meeting any Greek Cypriot who could spoil the image the Greek Cypriot side wanted to present to the Turkish Cypriots (we do not know what exactly happened with the Turkish Cypriots).
-While "personal" invitations were sent to all political " rapprochement" political spaces, the Marxist editorial group [[en:groups:ergatikidimokratia| Workers' Democracy]] [Ergatiki Dimokratia] was deliberately left out (and even after a vote by the Berlin "group"), which constitutes an important part of the anti-nationalist and anti-patriotic front built mainly around the committee of support for the [[en:groups:epitropi_simparastasis_parpa|conscientious objector Yiannis Parpas]]. This 'front' has recently come under repeated political attacks which, for various reasons, have for the most part fallen on the Workers' Democracy group. To these attacks is now added that of their exclusion from contact with the TCs (the only reason why it might have been worthwhile to be at this meeting was contact with TCs). Two nominal invitations were sent to the Limassol milieu, which is the other important part of the anti-patriotic, anti-nationalist ‘front’. The main aim of this action was to split this front on the one hand, and on the other hand to ensure the alibi that some people from the committee of support for Giannis Parpas had been invited anyway. Here we have to admit that because Workers' Democracy is a much more coherent political group than the disparate milieu of Limassol, it was also much more dangerous for them.

 After many discussions, a part of the Limassol milieu together with antiauthoritarians-internationalists from other cities decided to denounce the GC hypocrisy at the meeting and published the [[en:leaflets:unclassified:antieksousiastes_epanaprosegisi|proclamation]] that we publish here and which was also sent to some Turkish Cypriots who took part in the meeting (through our comrade who held the invitation).
