Government Spokesman Nikos Christodoulides has announced that there was no conclusion at the Mont Pelerin talks on the territory adjustment criteria.

“Unfortunately there was no conclusion as regards the criteria on territory”, Christodoulides wrote in the early hours on Tuesday on his personal account on twitter from Mont Pelerin, Switzerland, where the leaders of the two communities in Cyprus had been engaged in talks since Sunday on the territory chapter.

Cyprus has been divided since 1974 when Turkish troops invaded and occupied 37% of its territory. President of Cyprus Nicos Anastasiades and Turkish Cypriot leader Mustafa Akinci have been engaged in UN-led talks since May last year with a view to reunite the island under a federal roof.
