TRNC President Derviş Eroğlu has announced that he has reached agreement with the Greek Cypriot Leader Demetris Christofias to bring comprehensive proposals regarding the issue of property to the negotiations table at a meeting to be held in the first week of September. The President made the announcement upon his return to the Presidential Palace after his meeting with Greek Cypriot Leader Christofias today.

Eroğlu told reporters on his return to the TRNC Presidential Palace that the two sides explained their views and positions regarding the property issue at today’s meeting.

The President said that he has reached agreement with the Greek Cypriot Leader Demetris Christofias to bring comprehensive proposals regarding the issue of Property onto the negotiations table at a meeting to be held in the first week of next month.

Eroğlu noted that Christofias also thanked him again for the dinner he hosted at his residence in Nicosia last week.

He added that the dinner to be given by Christofias in honour of himself and his wife is planned to be held in September.

Also speaking at the end of the 2-hour-long meeting in the UN-controlled buffer zone, the UN Secretary-General’s Special Representative to Cyprus Lisa Buttenheim said the meeting was held under a constructive atmosphere.

She said special representatives Kudret Özersay and Yorgos Yakovou will meet tomorrow to resume discussions on property.

The leaders’ next meeting is scheduled to take place on the 10th of August.

ERTUG CRITICIZES GREEK CYPRIOT SIDE
The Turkish Side has criticized the Greek Cypriot Side for its attempts to present its previously rejected offers as a new set of proposals. The Presidential Spokesperson Osman Ertuğ defined such attempts as a reputation game being played by the Greek Cypriot Side against proactive policies of the Turkish Side.

Speaking on a BRT program, the Spokesperson also called on the Greek Cypriot Side to stop relating different chapters being discussed at the table to each other, adding that the chapters might only get related during the give-and-take process.

Asked to comment on claims that the United Nations will withdraw from the negotiations if an agreement is not reached by the end of 2010, Ertuğ reminded that the UN Chief voiced his support to a solution to be found by the end of the year in his latest report on the Cyprus issue.

Noting that no one wanted the talks to be extended further, he said that such claims published in the press were actually a warning to the Greek Cypriot Side.

“At this point, the international community should not only voice support to the process but should also motivate the Greek Cypriot Side for a solution” Ertuğ went on saying.

Serious differences on property

“There are serious differences and disagreements on the (property) issue”, President Christofias said yesterday after another session of talks with Turkish Cypriot leader Mr Dervis Eroglu in an effort to solve the Cyprus problem.

“We also had an open discussion on various other issues, which I believe is needed with Mr Eroglu. On the interpersonal level, the situation is not so bad”, he added.

The Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General in Cyprus, Lisa Buttenheim said the two leaders continued their discussions on the property issue “in a constructive atmosphere” and their representatives will meet today to continue the same discussions and advance them.

Asked if there has been any progress at all, Mrs Buttenheim said: "The fact that these meetings are taking place between the leaders and at the Representatives’ level so many times in August is a very positive sign".

Invited to comment on media reports that the UN may be considering pulling out its good offices mission by the end of the year, if a solution is not found, she said: "I haven’t seen these reports, but the important thing is to concentrate on the fact that the talks are taking place now and we are fully behind them

The Turkish Cypriot leader said after the meeting yesterday that the two sides had submitted their views and positions on property.
Eroglu added that they will table more detailed positions during a meeting in the first week of September.
The leaders will meet again on 10 August.

"Presidential palace" . I always thought it was the presidential mansion and was not purpose built, it was left behind by the British. I gather in the north it was purpose built as a "palace".
