‘Crucial week’ for Cyprus problem in New York
The UN General Assembly in New York next week will be crucial for the Cyprus problem, President Nikos Christodoulides said in Athens on Thursday after he met Greece’s Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis.
The two had a meeting at 11am at Maximos mansion where they primarily discussed the interconnector project.
In his initial statements, Christodoulides said he would continue to work towards resuming negotiations, and would prove this “with actions, not words.”
“The current situation is not a solution for the Cyprus problem.”
He underlined he was confident that “through the normalisation of Greek-Turkish relations, we will contribute even more to what Greece and Cyprus are proving: that they are pillars of security and stability in this region of particular geostrategic importance.”
Welcoming Christodoulides, Greece’s PM said Athens and Nicosia are coordinating ahead of developments on the Cyprus problem and the UN General Assembly.
“Greece and Cyprus are two countries which are a pillar of stability in a turbulent geopolitical region of the planet.
“At this time in particular, our coordination is more important than ever.”
