Davutoglu wants to visit Cyprus with Tsipras

Turkey’s Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu wants to visit Cyprus with his Greek counterpart, Alexis Tsipras, government spokesman Nicos Christodoulides said on Wednesday.

Davutoglu proposed the suggestion to Greece, but  Tsipras responded: “Let’s first solve the Cyprus problem and then we can visit Cyprus”, according to the spokesman.

The Greek government notified Cyprus on  Wednesday afternoon about the exchange.

Christodoulides called on Turkey to give up its statements and communication tactics and instead take concrete actions to prove it is sincere in its public statements about wanting to solve the Cyprus problem.

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.
