Spokeman: Solution Must Meet EU Law

Nicos Christodoulides, the Cypriot Government Spokesman has said a positive outcome at the negotiating table for a Cyprus settlement is possible as long as the solution arrived at meets the current conditions of a member state of the EU and fully respects fundamental freedoms and human rights. The plan must also guarantee the independence and sovereignty of the state throughout the process. 

Christodoulides said in a written statement commenting on remarks by Turkish Cypriot leader Mustafa Akinci during a televised interview on Tuesday evening, that “we have repeatedly noted that in the ongoing process mutual understanding has been achieved on a number of issues, while at the same time there is disagreement on a number of other issues.”
