Extracts from BRT



"the President said the two sides held discussions on the Turkish Cypriot proposals regarding the establishment of a Property Board."



"The President said he doesn’t expect to see huge gaps between the two sides when it comes to reaching an agreement over the Property Board."



"Talat explained that the Property Board will act as a mechanism to settle property disputes through the agreed criteria of ‘compensation, restitution and exchange’, also noting that the states will not have a decisive position on the decision-making process."



However Talat added that there were some differing views between the two sides on to whom the authority in taking the final decision should be given.



"The Greek Cypriot side wants the former owner of the property to make the final decision while we prefer the property board and other related commissions` he said."

Hi ilovecyprus...



Do you think this is the most positive "leak" yet heard from current talks ,or do you think like most leaks it is a sounding out sally... which may well be a good thing in this instance?



Sounds very positive to me thus far.



BRT... sorry what is this?

Joseph,



BRT is the Turkish Cypriot radio station.

Based on these two links it seems more realistic to say that absolutely no agreement was reached on the property issue.

If they can't reach agreement on this the remainder of the talks seem completely pointless.
