Christodoulides: Time for Substance in Cyprus Issue

It is time to address the substance of the Cyprus issue, stated President Nikos Christodoulides today in Paphos, expressing readiness to participate in an expanded conference, as agreed in Cran Montana, with the aim of resuming negotiations. The President emphasized that the UN Secretary-General, Antonio Guterres, appears to have a positive tone in his reports and that it is important to focus on the core of the problem, as previous years saw discussions limited to confidence-building measures due to the positions of Mr. Tatar. He also noted that for two and a half years, discussions were limited to confidence-building measures due to Mr. Tatar's positions.
