“At this stage a great duty awaits the United Nations and the European Union” said Özersay.

Explaining that a series of ideas have been put forward by the Turkish side in order for a successful outcome to be reached by the end of next month, the special aide said “we will insist on these ideas”.



He said the main reason why the Cyprus issue has not been concluded in a short period of time is due to the lack of political will on behalf of the Greek Cypriot Side.
