All EU leaders by Cyprus' side, any disagreements were on methodology, Cyprus President says

Cyprus President Nicos Anastasiades has stressed that during the European Council summit, he did not feel alone, but that all EU leaders stood by him. Any disagreements, he noted, were over the methodology for achieving the goal.

President Anastasiades, who was replying to journalists` questions in Brussels, explained the reasons why the EU27 unanimously approved the decision for Turkey and the Eastern Mediterranean, clarifying the mechanics of the options proposed by the EU, such as giving an opportunity to diplomacy and assessing the behaviour of the neighbouring country in December.
