Greek Cypriots in the US think a solution in 2016 is baseless
8 June, 2016Eide: “Both leaders are decisive to find a solution to the Cyprus problem in 2016”
8 June, 2016Greek Cypriot Leader Nikos Anastasiades has asked UN Secretary General`s Special Adviser on Cyprus Espen Barth Eide to put down on paper the convergences and mutual understandings achieved so far and the differences which remain between the two sides in the ongoing UN- led Cyprus reunification talks.
In statements after having received Eide, Anastasiades said that he had asked to be put in writing “what the convergences are, in what matters there is a mutual understanding and which are the matters on which differences remain.” This way, he explained, “all involved parties will have an objective knowledge as to which direction they should take when speaking either for progress or for the conditions for progress to be achieved.” Asked whether the goal remains to reach a solution within 2016, Anastasiades said “this will depend on the parties,” adding that “I don`t just mean a positive disposition but also whether what has been agreed as a basis for a real federal solution is what is meant, without the inclusion of co-federal elements.”
