23 October, 2018Special Political Advisor on Political Affairs and History of the TRNC Presidency Meltem Onurkan Samani said that President Mustafa Akıncı’s determined and sincere stance towards reaching a settlement was the reason for the end of the approach for open ended and fruitful negotiation processes.
Samani added that the 5 party conference which had convened as a result of Akıncı’s efforts had forced the Greek Cypriot side to face the facts of the settlement which was being negotiated at the table.
“For the first time in the history, a UN report stated that an open ended process was no longer supported” Samani said.
Expressing that if the Greek Cypriot side desires different solution models, they should clarify them. Samani said that a solution to be reached should be based on political equality, and a partnership should include equality, security and freedom of the sides.
