"I underline clearly; if no Cyprus settlement is reached by the end of my first term, I will not seek a second term. My current term in office will be my first and last," Christofias said during a news conference.
Christofias said there have been many meetings by the two sides, but that both are still far apart in their positions and that the Turkish Cypriot side was being influenced by Ankara.
"The failure to achieve impressive progress is owed to the distance in positions between the two sides and not because more meetings haven't been made," he said.
"Wherever the Turkish Cypriot side showed a willingness equivalent to our own, there have been convergences. Unfortunately, in many of its proposals, the Turkish Cypriot side, with the backing of Ankara, remained static in older positions."
... so nothing
Palio, then they should come out and say that. Why pretend otherwise?
i have no idea. maybe to give hope to the people, what every one wants a solution... one we can both agree on, easier said then done
