PanEuropa-France President Lallemant asks to widely Celebrate Helsinki Agreements' 40th Anniversary

*Strasbourg/Angelo Marcopolo/- in a Letter sent Today to the Press, including "EuroFora", the recently re-Elected new President of the "PanEuropa" Movement for France, Daniel Lallemant, (Comp. Lallemant's earlier Interview to "EuroFora", at : .....), Strongly Regrets the "Astonishing Silence of Political and Media Establishment" on the "40th Anniversary of the Helsinki Agreements" (1975-2015), which notoriously Marked the End of the "Cold War" and the Beginning of the "Detente" era, and "are the Great PanEuropean Event of the Secong Half of the 20th Century", as he points out.
- "All Europe, both Eastern and Western, had been actively Engaged in the Negotiations of 1973-1975", resulting to those Historic "Agreements which, since 40 Years now, Guarantee Borders, Mutual Respect of States' Sovereignity, National Minorities, Human Rights, wide Freedoms, Security and Peace, as well as Cooperation", throughout all the Euro-Atlantic area, making "a Wonderful Contribution to our EveryDay Life", particularly among European Citizens, President Lallemant reminds.
=> "That's why, it's both Natural and Timely (i.e., given, f.ex., the current Need to Ensure Peace in Ukraine, etc), for those Agreements to be (Officialy) Commemorated and Celebrated in France and throughout all Europe", PanEuropa - France's Head urges.
Therefore, "the PanEuropean Union of France launches a Vibrant Call to the Public Authorities for that Major Contribution to our Continent and to its Civilisation, to be Celebrated in Dignity", Daniel Lallemant's Letter concludes.
Today's move extends, therefore, into throughout a Wide Horizon, including, particularly, also European Citizens, as well as all EU/CoE's Member States, and well Beyond.
Thus, President Lallemant's call extends much Further than a simple Meeting among Diplomats, that OSCE, the Euro-Atlantic Organisation which had been created on teh Basis of the Helsini Agreements, now Headquartered in Wien, (and Chaired this Year (2015) by Serbia, before Germany takes over its Rotating Chairmanship for 2016), has already Scheduled for later this same week, at Finland's capital, on Friday, July 10, 2015, as "EuroFora" was meanwhile informed by other sources.
Significantly, that appeal was made at the Eve of EU Parliament's full Plenary Session,this week in Strasbourg, without, however, to contain anything in particular on this matter, at its officialy anounced Agenda's main events....

Swedish Foreign Minister, Carl Bildt, speaking to "EuroFora", denied rumors on Turkey's attempts to avoid an EU check of its obligations on Cyprus on December 2009 by blackmailing Nicosia to either accept any deal with intransigeant Turkish claims contrary to EU values on the island's political issue, or face threats against the territorial integriy of the EU island, semi-occupied by Ankara's army.
On the contrary, the incoming EU President-in-office, speaking exclusively to "EuroFora", promissed that he will act for EU Council's decisions on December 2009 assessment of Turkey's commitments on Cyprus to be kept.
Bildt was asked to react to Cyprus' President Christofias' denunciation, earlier this week, that some want to exert "pressure" on Cyprus in order for Turkey to escape from its obligations.
Avoiding to mention any precise Deadline, Bildt, however, warned about "Consequences" in case of "failure" to reunite Cyprus, but without saying whose responsibility an eventual deadlock might be.
Asked by "EuroFora" if there is a risk for "Turkey's commitments to "be forgotten or downgraded", "despite crystal-clear EU Council decisions and EU Parliament's latest Resolution on the assessment to make at the end of this year on Turkey's obligations", according to rumours that, instead of pressing Turkey, on the contrary, there might be "pressure on Cyprus", even "blackmail", as Media reported and President Christofias denounced this week, Bildt denied :
- "No ! ", he clearly replied.
- On the contrary, invited by "EuroFora", to "reassure that the Swedish EU Presidency (7-12/2009) will keep a fair stance, based on principles", Bildt promised that "we (Swedish EU Presidency) will be very clear on all of the decisions taken by the (EU) Council".
He added, however, that "we have very numerous decisions that have been taken" by EU Council, as if he warned, also, on something else.
- "'I am not aware of any sort of statements coming out today''", Bildt started to say, on our reference to Cyprus' President Christofias" denunciation of Turkish lobby's manoeuvers this week, replying earlier to 'another"EuroFora"'s question during a Press Conference at EU Parliament in Strasbourg.
- '"I know the issues that you' are concerned with'", he added, remembering the statements he gave us when Sweden was chairing the PanEuropean CoE on 2008.
- "But, obviously, .. I think that Cyprus' Peace negotiations are extremenly important".
- And "'I think that we are at a unique moment in History, in the sens that both (Cyprus') President Christofias and Mr. Talat (the Turkish Cypriot leader), are personally convinced of the need to overcome the division".
- "It's 20 Years since the fall of Berlin Wal, but we still have a Capital in Europe (Nicosia) that's divided". ,
- 'I don't that we should loose any time in overcoming that"..
- ''We should be aware of the fact that success will bring great benefits, but failure, will also have major consequences. There will not be Status Quo' " It's a question of seeking a solution, or entering another situation, which is somewhat difficult to see exactly how that could evolve", he warned.
- "That being said, this is a negotiation for Cyprus itself", Bildt admitted.
- ''We (EU) can support, the (EU) Commission primarily, be technically helpful, and then, of course, there is a specific role for the UN, when it comes to the Cyprus' situation".
- "At least so far. It might not be for ever'. Certainly not for ever, but for this period of time", Bildt added, skiping now any reference to concrete threats on UNO's Peace keeping force in face of more than 40.000 Ankara's soldiers, contrary to some Press claims, (See previous NewsReports).
Replying to another "EuroFora"'s Question, if anyone might attempt to "impose a Deadline for the conclusion" of Cyprus' Talks on December 2009, Bildt avoided to speak of any precise Time-frame, and indirectly evoked the fact that 35 Years of Turkish Invasion/Occupation obviously durated too long :
'- "If I was from Cyprus, I would say that the Deadline was Yesterday ! '",
Bildt concluded.
Cyprus' Government Spokesman, Stephanou, reportedly pointed out that "a settlement is possible on December if Turkey changes its stance", accepting a solution for the reunification of the island based on UNO resolutiona and EU principles.

Earlier, EU Chair, Swedish Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeld, highlighted an "historic opportunity" to "re-Unite" Cyprus according to EU's "basic Values"' (i.e. Human Rights) and 'Rules'", in a last-minute change of his draft speech to EU Parliament in Strasbourg.
The initial Draft spoke only about "healing" the island.
Significantly, Reinfeldt linked Cyprus' reunification with Turkey's obligations to respect EU's "Values" and "follow" EU's "common Rules" :
- What is "called Membership Negotiations" should lead, "at- the end of the day", into "sharing a set of common Basic Values (i.e. Human Rights, Democracy, etc), and following common Rules", stressed Reinfeld from the outset.
- "This is something that those on the Outside (of the EU), are now contemplating", up "to Ankara", for "a solution" on "Cyprus", observed the EU Chairman, immediately afterwards..
- "Both sides of Cyprus have been granted a historic opportunity to together reach an agreement on a solution to re-Unite the island, that has been divided for far too long", said Reinfeldt, modifying his draft text.
- "The Swedish Presidency will act ...in accordance with Commitments EU has made, on the basis of Criteria that apply", "as a Honest Broker", he promised.
- "To those on the inside (of the EU), allowing the membership process to become an opportunity to solve protracted disputes, can be tempting", he added.
"In such cases, we must find solutions that can benefit both sides, and open up a way forward. Otherwise, it would jeopardize the progress we have made towards EU integration", Reinfeldt said.
