[01] Focus to remain on property issue at Cyprus talks
The property issue will continue to be the focus of Cyprus talks at
the next meeting between President of the Republic Demetris Christofias
and Turkish Cypriot leader Dervis Eroglu on March 8, the UN Secretary
General`s Special Advisor on Cyprus Alexander Downer has said.
In a short statement to the press after the conclusion of the meeting
between the leaders of the two communities on Tuesday, Downer said that
“the two leaders met for a couple of hours today and they focused their
discussion once more on the issue of property.”
He added that they will be meeting on March 8 and will continue their
discussion on the issue of property.
Replying to a question as to how the meeting went, Downer said “it’s
going fine.”
“The personal relationships are good, there are obviously differences
of view, otherwise there wouldn’t be a negotiation,” he added.
Cyprus has been divided since 1974, when Turkey invaded and occupied
its northern third. UN-led talks are underway with a view to reunify
the island under a federal roof.
