UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and Foreign Minister of Turkey Ahmet Davutoglu have discussed the prospects for the Cyprus Peace Process during their meeting on Wednesday, Ban Ki-moon`s Spokesperson has said.
He said that “during their meeting, they discussed with concern the situation in Syria and resulting tensions in the region”.
“They also discussed prospects for the Cyprus Peace Process and the forthcoming conference on Somalia to be held in Istanbul”, he added.
Cyprus has been divided since the Turkish invasion in the summer of 1974. Turkey since then occupies 37% of Cyprus’ territory, situated in the north.
Peace talks are underway to find a negotiated settlement that will reunite the country, under a federal roof.
