In the first round of the presidential elections in the Republic of Cyprus, the Cypriots have put their trust in Nicos Anastasiades, the Democratic Rally's Party leader.

"On behalf of my parliamentary group, I very warmly congratulate Mr Anastasiades on his victory in this first round. Our political family, the most important and influential in Europe, wishes him all the success for the second round, due to take place on the 24th of February", declared Joseph Daul MEP, Chairman of the EPP Group in the European Parliament.

"Nicos Anastasiades is the only Statesman who can bring together those political forces committed to building a new European future for the island. He is the moderniser and the reformist who, through constructive dialogue, can bring new and fresh prospects to the huge challenges lying ahead for Cyprus", outlined Joseph Daul MEP. "Mr Anastasiades' long-standing experience and a strong international network will give Cyprus a new European dimension. Above all, with his determination and committed leadership, Cyprus can find its way back to economic growth, stability, security and social cohesiveness", continued Chairman Daul.

"Casting a vote for Nicos Anastasiades is opting for more influence in Europe, bold reforms and a strong and reliable government for Cyprus. This is an opportunity not to be missed", concluded Chairman Daul.
