Cyprus President Nicos Anastasiades will meet with UNSG`s Special Representative in Cyprus Elizabeth Spehar on Wednesday morning.

Spehar will also have a meeting on Tuesday afternoon with Turkish Cypriot leader Mustafa Akinci.

Akinci walked away on Thursday from a meeting, in the framework of the UN-led negotiations on the Cyprus problem, shortly after it began. It was announced that the two leaders had elaborated earlier on their positions as regards a decision taken by the Cypriot Parliament to commemorate in schools the 1950 referendum, favouring “Enosis”, union with Greece.

Invited by CNA to say if the meeting between Anastasiades and Akinci, in the framework of the settlement talks, will take place on Thursday as scheduled, a source of the Greek Cypriot side said that “we will be there”.

Cyprus has been divided since 1974, when Turkey invaded and occupied its northern third. Anastasiades and Akinci have been engaged in UN-led talks since May 2015 with an aim to reunify the island under a federal roof.
