    ``We will support principles for a just and viable solution of the Cyprus problem,`` he said and pointed out that an agreement should be based on ``the high level agreements, the agreements reached, the UN resolutions and international law.``

    President Christofias said, although he could not predict anything, he was optimistic and hoped Talat would work in the same way so that ``this optimism is real and bears fruit.``
