The Greek Cypriot daily Alithia newspaper noted that the Greek Cypriot Foreign Minister Yoannis Kasulidis in his statements regarding the Cyprus problem said “the negotiations will end in 2016 in either a positive or negative way but there is not a certain calendar.”
According to the news, Kasulidis disagrees with the overly optimistic approaches that the Cyprus problem will be resolved next year or in the following year because there is still a distance needed to be covered. Upon a question regarding the statements of Eide and the possibility of a quintet conference on the issue of guarantees, Kasulidis said, “This issue has not been discussed yet.”
