Karousos: Serious Institutional and Political Issue from Position Announcement at Limassol Port

The President of the Famagusta Rehabilitation Organization, Yannis Karousos, expressed serious concerns regarding the recent announcement of a Director position at the Limassol port, using the Job Description of the Famagusta Port Director position. He believes this action creates an institutional, administrative, and political issue, as the position of Famagusta Port Director is symbolic and of national importance, linked to the occupied city. He argues that creating a second Director position in Limassol with the same Job Description is administratively unjustified and politically unacceptable. He proposes that if the Cyprus Ports Authority wishes to fill a 'Harbour Master' type position, it should create a new position with a new Job Description. He requests immediate answers regarding the position's provision in the budget and the city to which it refers.
