The resolution that will be adopted by the Security Council at the end of January for the renewal of the mandate of UNFICYP is considered to be of key importance regarding the Cyprus issue and the efforts for the resumption of the negotiations. The reports that will be made with the non-resumption of negotiations but also the failed attempt (at least until today) to appoint an envoy, are two of the points that are expected to receive comments from the United Nations.

Nicosia has started moving in different directions in order to ensure that the position of the Security Council will reflect the real dimension of the situation on the island. The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Nikos Christodoulidis, in his meeting yesterday with the US Ambassador, Judith Garber, sent the message that Nicosia expects the support of Washington during the discussion at the UN Security Council.

President Anastasiadis said yesterday that he did not expect the UN Secretary-General to appoint an envoy before the end of the year. What the PTA expects and expresses is that “at some point both the UN Secretary General and those involved and the EU will realize that the unacceptable situation cannot continue, the unacceptable demands, the provocative actions of Turkey that certainly do not go hand in hand with no resolution or article of the UN Convention “.

Speaking at the general assembly of the Union of Municipalities, President Anastasiadis said that both the European Council and the UN Secretary General had been suggested that “the time has come if we want to create the conditions to take some important steps in building confidence-building measures. (MOE) that will begin to restore the climate of distrust. ” These measures, he explained, are nothing more than entrusting the administration or protection of the status of the enclosed area of Famagusta to the administration of the United Nations, in exchange, yes, the airport of Tympos is placed under the administration of the UN to comply with the international regulations of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), the protection of the FIR, the reopening of the port of Famagusta under EU supervision in terms of customs and customs, while Turkey to allow the access of Cypriot ships to Turkish ports .

With regard to natural gas, the President of the Republic said that they do not need any other than what constitutes convergence, from what are the proposals that are transformed into legislation such as the National Hydrocarbon Fund, such as the proposal to open a trust account and deposit when and if there are revenues in proportion to the population for the benefit of the Turkish Cypriots.
