“The inconsistency of Turkish Cypriot proposals with the joint communique was pointed out by our side at the meeting with the leader of the Turkish Cypriot community”, said the President of the Republic Mr. Nicos Anastasiades today.
In his remarks to reporters at the Presidential Palace following his return from the Nicosia airport where he met with the leader of the Turkish Cypriot community Mr. Dervish Eroglu, and which lasted for two hours and forty five minutes, the President said, in response to a question, that during the meeting “there was a review of the progress or lack of progress until today on the basis of the positions that were submitted by the two sides. It appears that there is a need for further dialogue with regard to all the issues that relate to the Cyprus problem.
The differences that exist until today were ascertained. Also ascertained or pointed out, on the part of our side, was the inconsistency of Turkish Cypriot proposals in relation to the joint communique.
“Certain positions or views were expressed by the other side about the worries or concerns of the Turkish Cypriots, and what has been agreed is that this dialogue should be completed at the earliest possible, as it relates at least to the initial positions of the sides, and then there will be of course a second phase where a more detailed discussion will start taking place of everything that has been submitted until today”, he noted.
