Eroglu: The guarantees will be discussed at a meeting with the guarantors; The leaders will meet in the end of March or in April
Turkish Cypriot daily Kibris newspaper (07.03.14) reports that the Turkish Cypriot leader, Dervis Eroglu said yesterday that the only issue which has not been discussed at the negotiating table in the Cyprus talks is the guarantees and added that this issue will be discussed in a meeting in which the guarantor powers will also participate.

Eroglu held separate meetings with delegations from the “Nicosia Friends’ Association” and the “Culture and Solidarity Association” representing the settlers from Gaziantep.

In his statements, Eroglu noted that the chapters in the negotiations are known and have been discussed ever since. He argued that they will exert every effort to speedily examine all chapters except for the guarantees, and reach an agreement which will be satisfying to the Turkish Cypriot “people”.
He argued that both sides must show will for an agreement at the negotiating table and lead the problem to a solution. He reiterated the allegation that negotiations on the Cyprus problem are held since 1968, thatsome texts for an agreement came up, but the Greek Cypriots rejected them and therefore this is the last chance.

Eroglu described as “injustice” the world’s dealing with the Cyprus problem, while so many other problems exist.

Eroglu said that a meeting between the two community leaders is planned in the end of March or in the beginning of April.

Finally, he recalled that the negotiators are meeting every week and added that the demands started coming gradually to the table.
