The TRNC Presidential Spokesman Hasan Ercakica has said that the two leaders could be wrapping up discussions on the economy chapter when they meet tomorrow.

He said that the two leaders will be reviewing the work carried out on the issue by their special representatives whom they had delegated to work out the details.

Ercakica also said that the Turkish Cypriot Side has done its part for the opening of a crossing point at Yesilirmak

Speaking during his weekly press briefing today, the Presidential Spokesman touched on the latest developments concerning the ongoing negotiations process.

Ercakica said that there was a chance that the two leaders could be completing preliminary discussions on the economy chapter when they meet tomorrow and announced decisions regarding the remaining issues.

Touching upon visits abroad by Greek Cypriot officials, Ercakica complained that the Greek Cypriot leadership continued to distort the realities on the island during its foreign visits.

“Both Mr. Christofias and his Foreign Minister Marcos Kyprianu are in an effort to portray the image that there is a problem between Turkey and the Greek Cypriot Side” he added.

He said one could easily see the threats the current talks faced by looking at the Greek Cypriot leadership’s ongoing attempts to manipulate Turkey’s EU membership, its efforts to establish Turkey as it’s collocutor and to maintain the isolation of the Turkish Cypriot people.

Drawing attention to the fact that the Cyprus Problem was on top of the Turkish –EU Partnership council’s agenda, Ercakica reminded that the Swedish Foreign Minister who will be taking on the EU term Presidency had described the Cyprus Issue as the “biggest problem for the EU”.

The Presidential Spokesman also pointed out that recent developments such as the ECJ’s judgment on the Orams Case showed that the EU had lost its capacity to play a positive role in the Cyprus Problem, despite all the strenuous efforts and good will put forward by the Swedish Foreign Minister.

Responding to a question on the opening of a crossing point in Yesilirmak, Ercakica said that the Turkish Cypriot Side has fulfilled its obligations towards the opening of a crossing point.

“Access to Erenkoy should be eased if Pirgo’s isolation is to end” he said, adding that the Turkish Cypriot Side was ready to open a crossing point in the area.

Reminding that the inhabitants of Yesilirmak and Pirgo had met with both President Mehmet Ali Talat and the Greek Cypriot leader Demetris Christofias, Ercakica said that another meeting was scheduled in the coming days.

Pointing out that fuel could not be classified as ammunition, Ercakica said that there were no tanks or armored vehicles stationed in the small enclave and that the fuel was only used for generators and small transport vehicles.

He also said that they had yet to receive an official offer from the Greek Cypriot Side to supply electricity to the village.

Asked to comment about the impact of the government crisis in the South on the talks, the Presidential Spokesman said that they were following the developments closely.
