Archbishop Desmond Tutu:
We’ ve had another good meeting and we have been very impressed with the grasp that Mr. Talat has of the issues. We said, as we said Mr. Christofias, that we have come as those, who admire both of them and are deeply impressed with their leadership qualities and their courage. And to both, we have said, we come to offer our encouagement, and as you may have heard, I’ve said we are not quite as young as you look. We want to be alive and to come back and celebrate with the Cypriots when the solution that we see in the near horizon becomes a reality. And so, we have been very pleased with the meetings that we have had with the two leaders and really are looking forward to- in the very near future - the celebration of the consummation of their agreement. We will be with you.
President Talat:
It was an excellent meeting. We are really encouraged by the representatives of The Elders and I’ll do everything on my behalf to really make your visit here happen to celebrate the solution to the Cyprus problem and finish this protracted problem.
