Turkish FM announcement proves wrong those saying President Anastasiades refused a settlement, government says

Government Spokesman Kyriacos Koushos pointed on Wednesday to an announcement, issued yesterday by the Turkish Foreign Ministry, which said that Ankara never gave its consent for the abolition of guarantees and intervention rights at the 2017 Conference on Cyprus, in the Swiss resort of Crans Montana. According to Koushos, the announcement proves wrong the narrative that is being circulated by some people in Cyprus, claiming that during the Conference at the Swiss resort, Turkey was ready to give up its intervention and guarantee rights and withdraw its troops from Cyprus, and that President Anastasiades refused to solve the Cyprus problem.
 
Speaking at the Presidential Palace, Koushos was asked to comment on reports in the Cypriot Press, and the Turkish Foreign Ministry announcement, issued on Tuesday.
