26 May, 2016Biden had a telephone conversation with the leaders
26 May, 2016The UN officials made statements to “Havadis” newspaper regarding the crisis which arose due to President Mustafa Akıncı’s participation at the dinner at the World Humanitarian Summit in Istanbul and his meeting with the UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon.
The UN sources agree with the Turkish Cypriot side that the Greek Cypriot administration overreacted to the event. They said that it should not harm the negotiation process and cancellation of the leaders meeting is meaningless.
According to the UN sources, the responsibility belongs to the sides to overcome this crisis. The UN will not make any attempt or force for the continuation of the negotiations.
The UN sources indicated that the Greek Cypriot side considers the UN as responsible and they asked for an official statement, dialog or initiative from the UN.
Diplomatic sources also stated that the Greek Cypriot side is in a difficult situation, and they realized that this attitude will harm themselves and added that they will return to the table in a short time.
