Turkey optimism for reunification of Cyprus

Davutoglu expressed optimism for the reunification of Cyprus after meeting with Akinci in Davos

Turkish daily Sabah (21.01.16) reported that Turkey’s Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu, in statements after meeting with the Turkish Cypriot President Mustafa Akύncύ in Davos on Thursday, said that he is hopeful that the ongoing reunification talks in the island will now enter a phase where guarantor countries, Turkey and the U.K., join the talks.

Davutoglu expressed his happiness with Akύncύ arriving at a high-level diplomatic platform like Davos and said the two sides will “hopefully” achieve success at the talks in the upcoming months.

He also said that he had the opportunity to discuss the issue with British Prime Minister David Cameron during his visit to London earlier this week and that he also discussed the issue with U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on Thursday.
