President receives Turkish Cypriot Communal Democracy Party delegation

The Turkish Cypriot Communal Democracy Party will continue to support the solution of the Cyprus problem and work for a “yes” in a future referendum, party president Cemal Ozyigit said on Tuesday.

A delegation of the Turkish Cypriot party was received by President Nicos Anastasiades and discussed the latest developments in the Cyprus issue.

In statements after the meeting, Ozyigit said that the two leaders are willing to solve the problem, they see both communities’ needs and worries, they trust each other on the issue of guarantees and the territory, and they are willing to solve the problem before 2017. He added that they are also trying to find a solution acceptable to both communities.

Ozyigit said that as a political party they support “the cross-voting election for the President of the united island and rotation presidency.”

“As a political party, we will continue to support the solution and will work to bring two yes on both sides,” he added.

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.
