Defence Minister expresses hope that Turkey will show good will for resumption of UN-led talks in Cyprus
Cyprus' Defence Minister Charalambos Petrides expressed hope on Sunday that Turkey will display the necessary good, allowing the resumption of UN-led talks for a settlement of the Cyprus problem.
“A solution to the Cyprus problem in line with the EU acquis and international law, without anachronistic guarantees and the presence of the Turkish army, a solution safeguarding human rights which creates the conditions for lasting stability remains the President’s main aim,” Petrides said in a memorial service for those who lost their lives in Mandres, a village in Famagusta, during the 1974 Turkish invasion.
He said however that “Turkey with is unacceptable and aggressive stance in Cyprus’ exclusive economic zone causes even greater problems in the efforts to resume the negotiating process.
