“In order to prove that everything is all right, the documents are now being passed on to that officer” – said social activist George Stylianou. He means the committee of marina management, which sat in session on Monday.
George expresses his hope that this transfer would help the case to move off dead center and there will be no more delays.
“That must not last longer than one month. And attorney-general should take into account, that the matter requires haste”, said Stylianou.
He is concerned that in case it lasts longer, it would give rise to new delays of marina project. It has already been restrained by such delays for quite a long time.
“It’s not possible to wait any more” – Stylianou states. “It puts freeze on our plans. We are interested in financial profit from marina, aren’t we?”
