President Demetris Christofias and Turkish Cypriot leader Dervis Eroglu meet today Thursday, in the context of UN-led direct talks to solve the Cyprus problem. The meeting will take place at the residence of the UN Secretary General`s Special Representative in Cyprus Liza Buttenheim, in the UN-protected area in Nicosia.

During their last meeting on Tuesday, the UN Secretary General`s Special Adviser on Cyprus Alexander Downer said that the community leaders brought along a series of proposals on property issue.

“I think some convergences can be built actually, I think that’s possible”, Downer said, adding that the meeting was held in a good atmosphere, underlying that “this is an example of both sides continuing to work hard to try to build convergences”.

President Christofias and Eroglu are due to have a third meeting with the UN Secretary General in late October, in New York. In their previous meeting, in July, they agreed to intensify the pace of the talks.
