...and I want to assure everyone that has made a different choice
that my respect for their decision is absolute.
I want to thank...
Order. Order.
To my fellow candidates, Stavros Malas, Giorgos Lillikas... [People booing]
Order! Order!
My respect [for them] is absolute, and I demand the same from you.
[Audience applauding]
To my fellow candidates. I repeat it and I want to sense your respect. Stavros Malas, Giorgos Lillikas
I now turn to our Turkish-Cypriot compatriots, I am sending a message of peace. [People booing] Order!
I am sending the message and I am asking you to realise that if we do not act in a responsible way
we will drive the country towards dichotomy. And I will not accept this. I will not sell my country. [Audience applausing]
I will work for unity.
I want to call on everyone... I will not accept and I will not tolerate any provocation towards anyone.
We will build unity, and unity is built by respecting different opinions.
And it was one's right to choose a different candidate.
Stand up to the occasion as befits us, as befits you, as befits a European country.
Thank you very much.
