Cyprus Spokesman: Negotiators discuss treaties and previous acts

Issues relating to international treaties and previous acts were discussed during Wednesday`s meeting of the negotiators of the two sides on the Cyprus problem, Andreas Mavroyiannis and Kudret Ozersay.

Government Spokesman Nicos Christodoulides told CNA that the Greek Cypriot side submitted a document on the federal civil service, while the Turkish Cypriot side tabled a document on internal security and the federal law enforcement authorities.

The next meeting of the negotiators will be held on July 16, with the transitional periods, the EU and citizenship on the agenda.

Furthermore, they agreed to meet on July 18 to discuss confidence building measures and the next steps in the negotiations.

Cyprus has been divided since 1974, when Turkey invaded and occupied its northern third. The latest round of UN-led talks began in Februaray this year with a view to finding a negotiated settlement.
