This is from the Cyprus Mail, which reports that Pres X is getting more help from experts in Europe-wide laws.
It reinforces the view of many that there is only one solution in CY and it is the one based on European values.
We are all Europeans now. Like it or lump it.
Panel of experts to help talks team
PRESIDENT Demetris Christofias plans to reinforce the Greek Cypriot side’s negotiation team by appointing a committee of experts to support his efforts in the Cyprus problem.
According to Government Spokesman Stefanos Stefanou, the committee will include experts from Cyprus and abroad, and specialists on European laws and regulations.
“when you are discussing an issue as complex as the Cyprus problem, apart from the political knowledge and political dealings, you need the support of expert knowledge,” said Stefanou.
“Apart from the negotiating team that accompanies the President of the Republic during the talks, there is also the Cyprus Problem Team, which I would say prepares the President and his team during the negotiations.”
But, he added, Christofias is aware that it requires more specialised knowledge on specific issues, constitutional and others, which need expert knowledge. “We need to be much more specific and substantial during the talks. We also need expert knowledge from the EU on how to handle such issues,” said Stefanou.
