In a letter to Rauf Denktash in 1996, President Clerides defined the parameters, as he saw it, of a federal solution. It's clear that Anastasiades is thinking of a joint statement along these lines.

Bearing in mind that this is prior to Cyprus' EU entry which changes the issue of guarantees. But you get some idea for what a joint statement would look like...

Various United Nations resolutions and the United Nations Secretary-General, himself, have declared the present status quo in Cyprus as unacceptable, a view shared by the international community.

The time has come to make a further determined and sustained effort to solve the Cyprus problem. To that end the Government of the Republic of Cyprus will be working earnestly and with imagination with the United Nations Special Representative and with all other supporting his efforts to prepare the ground for negotiations on the main outstanding issues.

Any settlement of the Cyprus problem should be based on a State of Cyprus with a single sovereignty, an international personality and a single citizenship, with its independence and territorial integrity safeguarded and comprising of two politically equal communities, as described in the relevant Security Council resolutions, in a bicommunal and bizonal federation, and that such settlement must exclude union in whole or in part with any other country or any form of partition or secession.

The security of both communities is a crucial issue which would help the finding of a solution and it will be necessary to devise effective guarantees, demilitarisation and an international force to be stationed in Cyprus. Demilitarisation represents an important contribution to this settlement.

We are prepared to embark on face to face negotiations in 1997 once the ground has been sufficiently prepared to ensure success.

Eroglu arrived in the meeting place with a "trnc" flag in his car. This fact alone, shows how committed he is for a so called Cyprus "reunification".

Eroglu wants recognition of the "trnc" by the ROC before talks start otherwise why would he insist that the federated states are considered “founding states”. He wants his conditions applied by denies the same right to the ROC. He expects the talks to fail but will use what he will claim to be the "recognition" by the ROC as a first step to try and legalise partition.

By insisting on a joint statement, I think Anastasiades has forced Eroglu to collapse the talks much earlier than planned. This wasn't supposed to happen till the end of 'negotiations' not before they actually have taken place.

Eroglu has shown his hand very early. Now what do the Turks do? Hope for the UN to mediate with a new Annan Plan? Doesn't sound likely...

Demonax the UN looks unlikely as we'll according to reports eroglu in the meeting told anastasiadis he dosent want the UN involved because the ROC is a member and the the tc are not
