UN Secretary General`s Special Adviser on Cyprus Espen Barth Eide has expressed the point of view that the weeks ahead in the UN brokered Cyprus talks are crucial.
“After a brief summer recess, intensified Cyprus talks continue in a constructive spirit,” Eide wrote on Tuesday in twitter.
“Crucial weeks ahead,” he added.
Cyprus has been divided since 1974 when Turkey invaded and occupied its northern third. UN led talks resumed in May 2015 aiming to reunify the island under a federal roof.
Today was the first of seven scheduled meetings between Cyprus President Nicos Anastasiades and Turkish Cypriot leader Mustafa Akinci after their last meeting at the end of July.
