“President Talat: It was a very good meeting with Anastasiades that we had. We discussed many issues which are outstanding and as expected we both have committed for having a fruitful result from the negotiations and to find a comprehensive solution to the Cyprus Problem. I am very pleased to have this opportunity to exchange views with Mr. Anastasiades. Of course we did not go into the depth of the negotiations but we exchanged views in a wider perspective. So I am very thankful to him and I hope we will continue our dialogue and collaboration.

Anastasiades: I would like to say that the meeting with Mr. Talat was not just a useful but as well a fruitful meeting. I would like to thank Mr. Talat for the initiative and the invitation. Of course I have to admit we did not engage in a full discussion on the specific aspect of the negotiations. However, we did exchange views regarding the wider frame, the latest development in reaching a acceptable solution. I have reiterated the strong support of the Democratic Rally to the negotiating process and they have emphasized that this process should not end and on the contrary, I do believe that with the determination and good will, we shall be able to reach a solution. A solution and I have to stres it we will offer security, stability and prosperity to our island we will allow Turkish and Greek Cypriots to enjoy the full benefits from our participation in the EU. A solution which will offer the best answer to the economic crisis which is affecting all of us. This is a historical opportunity which in front of us this is why we have to do our utmost so that the opportunity is not missed.

Question: Did you discuss the decision of the European Court of Human Rights? How will affect the property issue?

President Talat: We did not discuss this issue. We only mentioned. At this moment I want to say that the decision of the ECHR once again underlined the importance of finding a comprehensive solution to the Cyprus solution. Because unfortunately some of my statements are miscommented, let’s say, as I am now at a position to rely on the decision of the court in my proposals. No I said that we have to solve the property problem again by political means, by negotiations. This decision also highlighted the fact that solution is needed and is urgent. Because life is going on and it is not possible to stop life. This kind of needs are going to cause problems in the future also. We have to concentrate on the negotiations and find a solution which will also include the property problem. This is my position.

Anastasiades: I have to agree with my friend with Mr. Talat that we have exchanged views even on the European Court of Justice resolution but at the same time of course I have mentioned the Orams Case so that is why we both agree that the best solution as regards to the property is the final solution comprehensive solution of the Cyprus question because on one hand we have European Court of Human Rights but at the same time we have the Orams Case coming from the European Court of Justice, which is at the same time considering us illegal, any illegal development of the Greek Cypriots properties especially for the Europeans. It is not a matter of one having a victory over another. Therefore, to the best interest of all, we have to see how we can reach a settlement as soon as possible baring in mind the territorial adjustments and so on. We have agreed and we are committed to that and we had said that the best solution for everybody is the final solution of the Cyprus question, comprehensive solution without ignoring the remedies to the owner to the occupiers and the prevailing circumstances.

President Talat: I want to add something. I want to make it clear. I was always thinking and tabling my proposals in a similar way of the decision of ECHR. There are three options for the solution of the property problem. Compensation, restitution and exchange. So with this decision it is true that i am vindicated but again this does not overrule the need for a political solution to the Cyprus problem.

Question: There are two meetings until the elections? You expect a joint statement?

Talat: Again in the Greek Cypriot press there are a lot of rumors and stories that i am insisting to have a joint statement or declaration of the agreed issues. It is not true. I do not have such an insistence. I mean that was only a suggestion in order to give people confidence that we are making progress but if this is not acceptable by Greek Cypriot side, I do not have any problem. I am not insisting to make such a declaration. I agree to decide that at the very end. I do not have such an insistence.

Regarding a question about President Talat’s refusal to meet Clinton in the US, Talat said the following:

President Talat: There are some reasons. One, it takes at least four days to the US and come back. I am not in a free period to spend four days for such a meeting. Unfortunately they did not consider the importance of the political equality of two sides when they made the invititation. Meeting with Greek Cypriot Foreign Minister and Meeting with Turkish Cypriot leader. They should have considered equality at this stage also that is the second reason of my reluctance to go to the meeting.

Question: Do you have any problem if Hristofyas wants to change proposals in the governance?

President Talat: If he wants to change the issues we agreed,until reaching agreement on everything nothing is agreed- so he is free to change his proposals and I will be free to change my proposals. I strongly advise him not to do it.

I think Talat wanted the flag from the north next to the American flag while giving a press conference with Clinton at the State Department as the case is with all other nations. Talat did not want another
"in camera" meeting with Clinton where he was "smuggled" into the State Department through the back door and out again away from public view. But that's what Talat wanted last time knowing full well that's what was going to happen, but he wanted to go to Washington anyway to believe he was meeting Clinton as a "President", but Clinton reduced him to nobody by basically hiding him from view. I guess Talat learned his lesson in not to push his importance on the world stage too much as a puppet "President".!

Kiki, do you know how insulting it is what you wrote. "smuggled " "Puppet president".
He was voted for by the people of north Cyprus. He is no murdering EOKA -B guy and orcestrator of the Akritas plan that was/is held in such high regard in the south.

But he has changed his mind more recently. Apparently they can no longer control the Puppet Eroglu so they are trying to influence the vote to blocking him becoming the Not so Puppet President. I wouldn't waste my time on Kickapu Aga. His mind is deluded and frozen in some strange dimension unknown to mankind. One day we'll be able understand it. Look forward to the day.

Watch your statements Acikgoz, Talat is merely a leader of the Tc of Cyprus, and when you insunuate that Eoka B and other illusions are held in high regard you are gravely mistaken.....

Leave it WC, he is just foaming at the mouth because kiks out smarts him and tells him as it is. He then resorts to pathetic statements that shows his true mentality. So muc for moving on a??

I bet he even has steam coming out of his ears. Puppet and smuggled and corrupt and illegal and criminal are words associated with the trashcan regime. You are living in denial until kiks brings you to the real world.

If there were a few more like kikapu we would not have a cyprob.

Community leaders discuss EU matters, says Downer .................. these words are the good answer, what they are in the eyes of the UN......

Actually Halil, this is how the UN regards the President.

Just because he dresses down to community leader for the talks shouldn't confuse you as to who the world considers the President of this island.

Read your posts and tell me what TC in their right mind would accept a unified Cyprus with disrespectful fools like DT, Kiki, B25 and wyoming.....
