“Our position on the conditions under which negotiations can begin is clear. Negotiations cannot begin until sovereign equality and equal international status are recorded. The intention of the Greek Cypriots is to create fait accompli and try to put pressure on the Turkish side. We don't fall for these games. Christodoulidis should stop chasing empty dreams and take into account the realities on the island,” it added.
The attitude of the Turkish side on this issue, he continued, is very clear and there will be no going back to negotiating a federal solution. “No one should have the expectation that negotiations will pick up where they left off in Crans Montana. The search for a federal solution ended in Crans Montana,” the presidency said in its statement.
While it is clear that there is no common ground, there is no need to meet in trilateral another form of meeting, it is stated.
