Ozersay: Ban’s statement on Cyprus is positive and constructive

Turkish Cypriot daily Kibris (05.09.14) reports that Turkish Cypriot negotiator Kudret Ozersay, commenting on the statement made by the UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon after his meeting with his newly appointed Special Adviser on Cyprus Espen Barth Eide, said that the statement was positive and constructive.

Ozersay said that Mr Ban, by emphasizing how much importance the UN attaches to a Cyprus settlement and noting that important gains achieved so far should be entrenched, is significant.

Looking at the timing of Eide’s appointment and the statements, Ozersay said that they expect the new Special Adviser to work in earnest on the issue of disciplining the negotiation process.

Ozersay also said that it is positive that it was said clearly that they should built on what has been agreed in the past.
