An understanding has been reached on arrangements that will resolve the ongoing situation on the Pyla/Pile plateau.
Accord to a statement by the Special Representative of the Secretary-General (SRSG) and Deputy Special Adviser on Cyprus (DSASG), Mr. Colin Stewart, a few modalities are still being discussed but the framework understanding will come into effect today.
Speaking regarding Pyla/Pile , Colin Stewart, said:
“This is a very good outcome. These arrangements were reached as a result of highly constructive discussions with all concerned, who were committed to reaching a mutually acceptable conclusion to the recent crisis in Pile/Pyla.
The concerns of Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots were all carefully considered and addressed, and there was good will shown by all sides.
These discussions have been a model of how the sides can find reasonable and mutually acceptable solutions to their disagreements if there is a commitment to reaching such an understanding, it is a reminder that a mutually acceptable solution to the Cyprus problem is achievable.”
