In his remarks to reporters following a conference on the Cyprus problem that took place today at the presidential residence in the Troodos mountains, in which the participants, among others, included the Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Government Spokesman and the interlocutor of the Greek Cypriot side, the President of the Republic Mr. Nikos Anastasiades said that “the conference concerned – on the basis of the proposals that have been submitted – the further handling of the national issue.

According to the President, “the conference is related to my meeting on 2 September with the Turkish Cypriot leader, but also to the overall effort to find an orthodox way to address the dialogue that is under way. We proceed with the proposed methodology and in that direction there will take place next week a series of meetings, both with the team of the interlocutor as well as with the leaders of the political parties, in order for them to be briefed on an important project that is being done by the interlocutor’s team and so that that we can have the reaction of the party leaders at a follow-up conference certainly before 2 September. In other words, there will be two conferences with the political party leaders: one for briefing on and handing of the project that the interlocutor’s team will complete, and the second for the views of the parties to be heard, once they have been briefed”.

“This does not mean that there will be a cancellation of the three-day conference of the National Council for an in-depth discussion of the Cyprus problem on the basis of the current situation and in response to the request by the parties”, he added.

“The three-day conference of the National Council will take place before my departure for the United Nations and I want to believe that through the initiatives that are being undertaken, in other words the good preparation by the Greek Cypriot side, there will be a broader consensus among the political forces with regard to the handling of the national issue”, he concluded.
