President Christodoulides: Time for Substance in Cyprus Issue

The President of the Republic, Nikos Christodoulides, stated that it is time to discuss the substance of the Cyprus issue. He expressed Cyprus's readiness to participate in an expanded conference, as agreed in Cran Montana, with the aim of resuming negotiations. President Christodoulides emphasized that it is the first time in a long time that the UN Secretary-General has referred to the Cyprus issue in a positive tone. He also pointed out that during the last two years, discussions with Mr. Tatar focused on confidence-building measures and not on the essence of the problem.
