Negotiations Process
OVERVIEW
President Mustafa Akıncı received the newly appointed US Ambassador to Cyprus Judith Gail Garber on Friday.
According to a press release from the President’s office, Akıncı briefed the new US Ambassador on the Turkish Cypriot side’s position and efforts towards a solution of the Cyprus Problem.
Akıncı stressed that the change in the Greek Cypriot side’s position regarding the recognition of the political equality of Turkish Cypriots constituted a serious obstacle in efforts to reach a settlement.
He also said that the vision regarding hydrocarbon reserves in the Eastern Mediterranean should be within the framework of maintaining peace and stability in the region.
“Years ago, EU membership should have been used as an incentive for a solution but unfortunately that opportunity was squandered. The same is happening with the hydrocarbons issue today,” Akıncı said.
He added that the encouragement given to the Greek Cypriot side by the international community to take unilateral steps on the hydrocarbons issue was not helping efforts to reach a solution on the island.
