Greek Cypriot side is awaiting official information from the UN on a proposed meeting between the Greek Cypriot leader Nikos Christodoulides and the Turkish Cypriot leader Ersin Tatar on the issue of the crossing points.
Government Spokesperson Konstantinos Letymbiotis told the Cyprus News Agency (CNA), that January 20th and 21st are dates proposed by the Greek Cypriot side.
Replying to a question about UN Under-Secretary-General Rosemary Di Carlo’s arrival, Letymbiotis said that there is no information on the exact date, noting that the UN official’s visit to Cyprus is not a prerequisite for the leaders’ meeting on the issue of the new crossing points.
Asked about a meeting of a group of lawyers for the Cyprus issue, the Spokesperson said that it is a group of legal advisors and technocrats, under the Minister of Foreign Affairs, which has already met twice and is set to be expanded soon with the addition of other individuals.
Letymbiotis also said that the Greek Cypriot negotiator, Menelaos Menelaou, is in New York and is making contacts considering the UN reports on Cyprus but also in preparation for the multilateral conference, to be held possibly in March.
