Nice try. But no-one is going to blame Anastasiades for not reaching a deal with Eroglu. After all, it's Turkey and Eroglu who have refused to accept the UN resolutions as the basis for an agreement.
It was a smart move by Anastasiades to bring up the red lines in advance of talks. Its goal was to test Turkish intentions and it made Eroglu's insistence on a two-state solution the cause of the impasse. Davutoglu's belligerent statement just made it easier for Anastasiades to end the game.
