Eroglu said that the January meeting will be the last chance for the solution of the Cyprus problem

Ankara Anatolia news agency (01.11.11) reports that the Turkish Cypriot leader, Dervis Eroglu, stated on Tuesday that an international conference the UN chief planned to call after a meeting between the Cypriot leaders and the UN head in January next year, might be the last chance for settlement in Cyprus.

“The planned conference after the January meeting means a final episode. The conference will decide if there will ever be solution,” Dervis Eroglu told an interview on a Turkish Cypriot TV channel.

UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon invited Eroglu and the President of the Republic of Cyprus, Demetris Christofias for another meeting next January in New York after a summit meeting with the two leaders on Monday that ended without major breakthrough.

“Remarks [by the UN chief] have pleased us as they announce that we are nearing an end in the process,” Eroglu said.

In addition, Turkish Cypriot daily Kibris (02.11.11) reports about Eroglu’s statements. Noting that President Christofias did not make further statements regarding the negotiations, Eroglu said: “We confirmed for one more time that we left aside accusing each other”. He went on and added that what is important is to reach a result during the January negotiations.
