Christodoulides says talks with Erhürman were ‘good’, covering core issues and methodology

According to the Greek Cypriot public broadcaster RİK, Christodoulides told reporters on his return to the Presidential Palace that the meeting, which he described as ‘good’, covered core issues and methodology.

Christodoulides said he had made two concrete proposals on border crossings, and that one had not been accepted while the other had been put forward for consideration, with more time requested. Asked whether the proposals concerned the Athienou-Pyroi (Kiracıköy-Gaziler) crossing, he said that crossing was a basic precondition and that his proposal related to an additional issue. He also claimed that President Erhürman had accepted two more of his 19 proposals on the Cyprus problem, concerning the exchange of environmental and cultural property.

Christodoulides further said he would meet the UN Secretary-General’s Personal Envoy on Cyprus more than twice before a trilateral meeting. The report added that the next meeting between Christodoulides and Erhürman would probably take place next Tuesday.
