Turkish Foreign Minister Mevl\u00fct \u00c7avu\u015fo\u011flu will pay an official visit to the TRNC in order to hold meetings on the Cyprus issue.
\n\u00c7avu\u015fo\u011flu, who is expected to come to the TRNC this evening, will hold evaluation meetings regarding the negotiation process with President Mustafa Ak\u0131nc\u0131 , the negotiating team, and leaders of the political parties represented in the Assembly.
\n\u00c7avu\u015fo\u011flu, who will hold a joint press conference with President Ak\u0131nc\u0131, will also meet with the Speaker of the Assembly, Prime Minister and Foreign Minister.
\nResponding to press questions following a meeting with the Gabon Foreign Minister Pacome Moubelet Boubeya in Ankara earlier this week, \u00c7avu\u015fo\u011flu said that the Cyprus negotiations have accelerated after the joint declaration on 11 February 2014, and added that their aim is to achieve a permanent solution within this framework.
\nThe Turkish Foreign Minister said that the solution parameters are obvious, and that the negotiations on 12 January were realized at the level of foreign ministers. He added that the road map was clarified at that meeting and negotiations have continued within this framework.
\n\u00c7avu\u015fo\u011flu added: \u201cWithin the last 3-4 months we see that the Greek Cypriot side is trying to undermine the negotiation process. There may be different reasons for this, but one of them is the presidential election for the Greek Cypriot side in February 2018. In recent days, Anastasiades has begun setting preconditions for attending the five party conference in Geneva, and these are contrary to the joint statement of 11th February 2014, and the Geneva document of 12 January. Unfortunately, the process has been blocked.\u201d
\nDuring his speech, \u00c7avu\u015fo\u011flu also referred to the UN Secretary General’s Special Adviser on Cyprus Eide’s visit to Ankara.
\nMentioning that Eide visited Greece for the continuation of the process before travelling to Turkey, \u00c7avu\u015fo\u011flu said that during his visit, Turkey confirmed her belief in the process, and that the preconditions made by Anastasiades are unacceptable.
\n\u201cWe are ready to go to Geneva. We’re ready for a five-party conference. As a country that wants a solution, as a country that has supported all solution initiatives, including the Annan Plan, until now, we are still in this line, but we will not accept preconditions”, \u00c7avu\u015fo\u011flu said.
\nFollowing his meetings on the island, \u00c7avu\u015fo\u011flu is expected to leave the TRNC on Thursday evening.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
