Anastasiades sends out letter to Guterres

THE Greek Cypriot side is determined to return to the negotiating table following good preparation and within the framework laid down by United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, President Nicos Anastasiades said in letters to the UN chief, the permanent members of the UN security council and foreign governments.

In remarks to reporters at an event in Achna, Famagusta, on Friday night, Anastasiades said he will have the opportunity to promote the Greek Cypriot views in his meeting with Guterres during the United Nations’ general assembly later this month, both verbally and in writing.

“Already, in letters to country leaders and European governments, the Islamic Conference, and the Secretary-General himself, I have reiterated the Greek Cypriot side’s determination to return to the negotiating table, as long as good preparation has been ensured and within the framework laid down by the Secretary-General,” he said.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
