كما أوضح الرئيس بابادوبلوس أن "على الحكومتين اليونانية والتركية، وهما الطرفان المعنيان الرئيسيان، التوصل إلى اتفاق لكي يعي الشعب تماماً الأمور التي يُدعى للتصويت عليها، وخاصة فيما يتعلق بمسألة الأمن، طالما أن الخطة تعتبر مسألة الأمن شرطاً مسبقاً لا غنى عنه".
President Papadopoulos also indicated that “as long as the plan had the question of security as an indispensable prerequisite, the governments of Greece and Turkey as the main interested parties had to reach an agreement so that when the referendum would be put to the people they would fully understand what they were called upon to vote on, especially as regards the issue of security”.
