Akıncı: “Solving Cyprus problem will also contribute to regional cooperation”

President Mustafa Akıncı said that a fair and federal solution to the Cyprus issue would not only allow for the two communities of the island to reach a peaceful and prosperous future but also would allow for a regional cooperation to be reached.

In his opening speech at the 19th Eurasian Economic Summit organized by the Marmara Group Strategic and Social Research Foundation, Akıncı emphasized that in the event of a solution in the Cyprus problem natural gas resources in the Eastern Mediterranean will provide mutual benefit instead of crisis. Akıncı also mentioned that new cooperation opportunities will arise between Cyprus, Turkey and Greece.
