a solution to the Cyprus problem, which referred to reports in Turkish newspapers.
As he said in an interview with the Turkish service of the BBC, it is not a question of attachment to any side in any country, noting that it’s not what they are asking for the Turkish Cypriots. “Turkey is a country of 700 thousand square kilometers (area) and doesn’t need the small size of Cyprus,” he added.
He noted that the expectations from the talks are high, but pointed out that it is not realistic to expect that all the elements of the Cyprus problem will be solved in Geneva and will end.
As he said, in Geneva will not solve all the details. He clarified that the goal is the creation of a framework, noting that you don’t need to connect to all of the subject soil, and we need to find a formula that will satisfy the concerns of each side in the issue of security and guarantees.
Asked about the position of Greece for the full withdrawal of Turkish troops from the island, but the departure of Turkey from a guarantor power, mr. Ακιντζί said that if the “zero army – zero guarantees support until the end, then there will be no solution”.
Hours-long meeting under the New. Anastasiades
Meanwhile, in view of the negotiations and of the conference on the Cyprus problem in Geneva, the Cypriot president Nicos Anastasiades held a long meeting in the presidential residence in Troodos with members of the negotiating group.
On Friday, mr. Anastasiades will be in Athens for a meeting with prime minister Alexis Tsipras, in the presence of the Foreign ministers of the two countries.
Effort of the Greek cypriot side is to be discussed in the chapter of security and guarantees, to be a positive result in Geneva.
