[01] Cyprus president Anastasiades' statement to ANA on meeting with
Guterres and Akinci
Cyprus President Nicos Anastasiades expressed the certainty that "the
prospect to go to Geneva may be created if there is no irrationality
or denial to discuss the guarantees issue " in a statement to Athens
Macedonian News Agency on Sunday.
On the occasion of Sunday's meeting, during dinner, with UN secretary
general Antonio Guterres and Turkish Cypriot leader Mustafa Akinci in New
York, Anastasiades said that he is going to New York following Guterres'
invitation "An invitation which I accepted with pleasure because I will
have , among others, the opportunity to set to him all the recent facts
and to analyse my thoughts on the future of the Cyprus problem and to
see if everyone, Turkey included, really wish to reach and agreement"
he noted.
Moreover, Cyprus government spokesman Nikos Christodoulides who is
accompanying Anastasiades in New York and ahead of the dinner scheduled
to start at 02:00 (Athens time), stated to Athens Macedonian News Agency
that Guterres intention is not to present a 'compromising formula'. The
UN general secretary wants "to discuss with both leaders in order to
examine if there can reach a result which may open prospects for the
discussion to proceed".
On Anastasiades' proposals, Christodoulides noted that his aim is
"the matter of safety and guarantees to dominate at a possible meeting
on Cyprus".
