The Turkish Cypriot leader Mustafa Akinci walked out of today’s meeting, part of UN-led settlement talks, with President of Cyprus Nicos Anastasiades, according to a well-informed source.
The meeting was scheduled to start at 10.00am local time (8.00am GMT), in the framework of UN-led talks for a Cyprus solution.
