We did not come to fear the future. We came here to shape it.

Filibuster has long tradition, but used to harm civil rights.

The interests of all Cypriots would be advanced with a bizonal bicommunal federation.

We've got to make sure that our economy is strong at home so that we can project military power overseas.

And when it comes to developing the high standards we need, it's time to stop working against our teachers and start working with them. Teachers don't go in to education to get rich.

Invest in our teachers and our children will succeed.
