The Democratic Party (DEKO) has pulled out of the coalition government on Tuesday, citing serious differences on the Cyprus issue.

President of the Democratic Party Marios Garoyian, speaking to reporters after his third meeting in the last few days with President of the Republic Demetris Christopfias said they did not manage to achieve the desired understanding, as there are serious different approaches on the Cyprus issue.

Therefore, he added, “the dialogue ends and DEKO will cease its cooperation with the President”.
