UN Special Envoy Alexander Downer said yesterday that real progress can be achieved over the next few weeks if the talks go well.
“It is important that we really invest a lot of time and energy in the talks this week and we hope that this will be productive”

Speaking after a one hour meeting with Christofias, Mr Downer told the press: “I had the opportunity to talk to him about the intensive phase of the talks that we are in.

Asked how it is possible for the talks to move forward when the Turkish Prime Minister Mr Tayyip Erdogan said that he will never give back Morphou, Karpasia and Famagusta, Mr Downer said: “When we get to these issues, the property and territory, all these questions will be discussed and at the moment as you know we are talking about governance and power sharing and we are focusing on those issues and after the holiday break will get back into the territory and property issue and it will be opportunity to canvas on those sort of questions”.

Replying to a question on whether these kind of statements help, Mr Downer said: “Not surprisingly, from our point of view, in the UN, it is probably best if we don't express publicly every sentiment that may rush through our veins, at any particular time”.

“We are more outcome-oriented”, he added. “We don't get into commentary on everything everybody says .I think it wouldn't make sense if we set ourselves up as commentators on everything every Prime Minister in the region says”.

Downer has laid emphasis on the fact that confidentiality is important in reaching a successful outcome at the Cyprus talks. “The less that is said publicly about what happens in these discussions, the more chance we have of having a degree of success in the negotiations” Downer told reporters at the end of yesterday’s meeting..............

leaders, who will meet again on Friday, will continue to negotiate the Governance and Power-Sharing from where they had left.

Meanwhile, Eroğlu will brief political parties with seats in the TRNC Parliament about the outcomes of the Geneva summit and recent proposals put forward at the Cyprus negotiations.........
