Illegal Bayrak television (29.03.12) broadcast that the Turkish Cypriot leader Dervis Eroglu, stated that the Turkish Cypriot side perceived yesterday’s meeting as the final meeting of the two leaders, until the UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon decides on the future of the Cyprus talks in April.
Speaking upon his return to the occupied area of Cyprus after the meeting he held with President Demetris Christofias, on the framework of the Cyprus negotiations, Eroglu stated the following: “Ban and Downer will evaluate the course of the Cyprus talks with a meeting on the 19th of April in New York. Ban will then decide whether to call a multilateral conference or not. We as the Cyprus Turkish Side expect Ban to call a conference which will also involve the participation of guarantor powers in Cyprus. We’ll re-evaluate the process after Ban announces his decision”, he said.
Eroglu also added that he expects Downer’s report, which will soon be submitted to Ban, “to be an objective report”.
“Proposals that we put forward throughout the whole process prove our willingness for a settlement. In my latest letter to Ban, I reiterated our readiness to maintain efforts towards reaching an agreement. I also told Ban that we can negotiate many core issues of the Cyprus problem during a possible multilateral conference” Eroglu alleged
