The island’s Deputy Government spokesman stressed that while the Annan Plan is dead and buried for both President Anastasiades and the Greek-Cypriot side in its entirety, a new plan is being sought which will cater to the expectations of all citizens of the Republic.
As for the sought-after joint communique, Viktoras Papadopoulos noted that this should constitute the basic framework and outline the fundamental parameters for a solution to the CYprus Issue, while on the UN Secretary-General’s call for a deadline on the drafting of such a communique, he pointed out that even though pressure is admittedly being exerted on both sides, this should not be considered blackmail.
