SERIOUS DEVELOPMENTS WILL HAPPEN BY THE END OF THE YEAR BUT THE CYPRUS ISSUE MAY NOT BE SOLVED

The international community has high expectations when it comes to the Cyprus issue.
According to the latest statement made by the EU commissioner for Enlargement Olli Rhen, the international community expects the Cyprus issue to be solved by the end of the year.
‘Well that doesn’t look possible for now’, says President Talat.
Speaking during a visit today, President Mehmet Ali Talat said that although the international community expects the Cyprus issue to be solved by the end of the year, no concrete steps have been taken to make this come true.
‘The international community may desire that the Cyprus issue be solved by the end of this year, I cannot say that this will happen but what I can say is that a lot of developments will occur by the end of the year’ said the President.
Upon being asked a question regarding the EU Commissioner in charge of Enlargement Olli Rhen that he expects the Cyprus negotiations process to intensify from April to the end of autumn, the President said the international community had recently started showing more attention towards the Cyprus issue.
Noting that serious developments will take place within this year, the President said although no concrete steps have been taken towards finalizing the Cyprus issue, there were signs of development on the issue.
Stressing that it was unacceptable for the European Union to interfere with the Cyprus issue, President Talat said, it is not possible
for the European Union to be partial when it comes to the Cyprus issue as South Cyprus and Greece are members of the Union.
‘But when necessary the European Union may give technical support’, he added.
Explaining that although South Cyprus and Greece have seriously influenced the European Union, the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus’s relations with the European Union are at a good level.
And while receiving the head of Religious Affairs Yusuf Suiçmez today, the President referred to the respectful nature of the Islamic religion.
He said although the Greek Cypriot Orthodox Church knew that religion wasn’t an issue of conflict during the Cyprus negotiations process, it was presenting it as such.
The President said Turkish Cypriots are Muslims but are secular, and noted that there was no room for religion during the negotiations process.

Halil stop posting such negative posts(Only Joking).

Say hello to my brother, and your x-boss says hello.

It does not matter whether the agreement is this year or next. So long as we have an agreement.

Be positive.

i think it will be bad for both sides if there is no solution, south has the island remained devided and north/turkey has no eu..

im sure both leaders will be able to come up with a solution that benifits both sides and that both sides are happy with the solution

I hope so, becasue if thesae two leaders can not work out an agreement that would satisfy both sides, nobody else can.

I trust that it will take a little longer, but they will work it out.

they just need to take their time and not rush and do it properly.
