Erhürman: “Anastasiades should clarify his proposal as soon as possible”

Prime Minister and CTP Leader Tufan Erhürman and AKEL Secretary General Andros Kyprianou met at CTP Headquarters last Saturday (27th October).

Erhürman and Kyprianu made a joint statement following a tête-à-tête meeting and a meeting between the delegations.

The parties confirmed their determination for a lasting and just solution based on political equality as soon as possible.

Stating that the parties appreciated the decision taken last Friday regarding Derinya and Aplıç border gates which will be opened on 12 November 2018, the parties expressed their support for the steps to be taken in the areas of mobile phones and confidence-building measures.

Considering the possibility of accelerating the process, they have the intention to meet more often, and Erhürman and Kyprianu expressed that they had decided to organise activities on either side of the island.

In his statement, Erhürman stressed that the next most important task is to start with a well-prepared, result-oriented process which is not open ended as the UN Secretary-General Guterres had stated in his latest report, and added that he did not think that the suggestion of a loose federation, that Anastasiades brought up recently, is in opposition to Guterres’ desire.
