In the General Prosecutor's Office for the preparation of the legal framework and the documents lies the issue of the study of the study of the port of Marina Larnaca to the Greek Public Property Development Fund, Larnaca Mayor Andreas Vyras said today.

At the established meeting with Larnaca journalists, Mr. Vyras said that "the city accepted the decision of the President of the Republic to assign, through a transnational Cyprus-Greece agreement at the Port Authority in Greece, a state organization that is a pillar of the Fund Fund. Private Public Property (HRIP), the study on the future of the port, marina and land area in Larnaca. "

As he noted, "this issue is for legislation in the General Public Prosecutor's Office in order to prepare the legislative framework and the necessary documents".

He added that on the issue of Larnaca Port and Marina, "we are in contact and there is a cooperation with the government and the ministries responsible to implement what we have said, since after the contract with the company KITION, things are not easy to "

As he said, there is a process to follow and added that "what we have earned is that an amount of around 40 million euros, which will be used to implement various projects that were not included in the previous procedures".

As Mr Vyras said, "we will push so that this study can be done as soon as possible and soon to be ready to announce a new tender for finding investor and why not to do projects from government services such as the Port Authority or by state Budgets, since there will be similar revenue to the state. "

"There is an expression of interest, but nothing more"

Answering a question, the mayor said that "there is an expression of interest but nothing more", while being asked about the costs that the Larnaca may have suffered from the non-implementation of the work of the Unified Port-Marina Development, he noted that "we had no serious cost because Development in the city did not stop with the termination of the contract with Kition. "

Larnaca's development course continued "it was not influenced by this issue, as building development is progressing properly. For our city, the work of the port - Marina is very important, but the course and future of Larnaca does not depend on it. "

How does G. Karoussos answer

Andreas Byras, at the meeting with reporters, also referred to statements by the former Minister of Transport and President of the District Administration (EOA) Famagusta Yiannis Karoussos, who argued that the mayor of Larnaca did not react to the extent to which he had reacted to his extent The Marina as she did with the Metsovio Technical University, a branch claimed by the Famagusta province.

After asking for the statements of a "former state official", Mr Vyras said that "the municipality of Larnaca did everything humanly possible for this project" and added that "when the Attorney General comes with an opinion and says there is a violation. of the terms, when the Ministry of Transport comes and says that the contract is violated, I wonder how we could not accept that. "

At the same time, he wondered what the municipality should do "to accept the illegality found by the Attorney General?" He noted that if Mr Karoussos "questions the Attorney General's opinion to say it. We did everything so that the deal would not collapse, but we do not have the contract. We did everything for the guarantee, but they did not submit it, "he said and wondered whether" it would be a serious attitude from us if we questioned the Attorney General's opinion. "

Awaiting PDP decisions for marine technology school

Asked about the creation of the School of Marine Technology, Sciences and Sustainable Development of TEPAK in Larnaca, Andreas Vyras replied that "we expect an official decision within the month by the President of the Republic".

In the event, however, "that this school in Larnaca is not able to operate, there will be a very dynamic reaction of the city, and if the government is withdrawal then this reaction will be extreme," he noted.

He also said that TEPAK needed an official decision by the Council of Ministers to proceed with the procedures to achieve the goal of opening the school to be set up in the Makenzi area in September 2027.

Operation of universities in Larnaca

Concerning the operation of Greek universities in Larnaca and whether he had contacts with university rectors, the mayor said that "we had many times in Cyprus and Greece with delegations of the two universities, namely Kapodistrian and Metsovio. We are also at a very advanced stage of communication with university representatives, but the schools themselves must clarify their own issues, since there is still nothing given. "

As he explained, "internally universities must see which schools will come to Larnaca, but we are ready with the necessary buildings. Universities do not want to only go to one municipality, they are discussing their schools to be transferred to various municipalities and there is no question of competition with any other city in Cyprus. "

There is a disposition and if many schools of various Greek universities come, such as plans, all municipalities can be met that can meet the needs of the universities, he said.

Both the position of the President of the Republic and that of the Universities, said Mr. Vyras is that "they can distribute their schools into various provinces, which will work positively for all cities of Cyprus".

Regarding which universities they are sure to come to Larnaca, Andreas Byras said that "there is no confidence in anything but we are in contact with both higher education institutions, awaiting the evolution of things. Larnaca will not accept to be wronged in the matter of operation in the city of Greek universities, "he concluded.
