The President of the Republic Nicos Anastasiades is engaged in a continuous dialogue with the group of experts on the question of Cyprus, Deputy Government Spokesman Victoras Papadopoulos said on Thursday.
In statements to the press, Papadopoulos said that the President is in constant consultations with the group of experts and especially now, after Christmas and New Year’s celebrations, the President is constantly preoccupied with the Cyprus issue as the procedure to agree on a joint declaration (with the Turkish Cypriot side) is still pending”.
Efforts are currently underway with a view to achieve an agreement between the two communities on a joint communiqué that will pave the way for the resumption of UN-led negotiations on the problem of Cyprus, divided since 1974, when Turkish troops invaded and occupied 37% of the island’s territory.
