Αναφορά του Αναπληρωτή Εκπροσώπου του Γενικού Γραμματέα του ΟΗΕ στο Κυπριακό
Παρατίθενται πιο κάτω ερωτήσεις που τέθηκαν από δημοσιογράφο στον Αναπληρωτή Εκπρόσωπο του Γενικού Γραμματέα του ΟΗΕ κ. Farhan Haq, κατά τη χθεσινή τακτική ενημέρωση των δημοσιογράφων, σχετικά με την αποχώρηση του Προέδρου Αναστασιάδη από το επίσημο δείπνο αρχηγών κρατών και κυβερνήσεων που παρέθεσε ο Τούρκος Πρόεδρος Tayyip Erdogan στην Κωνσταντινούπολη λόγω της παρουσίας του Τουρκοκύπριου ηγέτη Mustafa Akıncı.
Question: Farhan, do you have anything on this diplomatic incident at the World Humanitarian Summit where the Turkish Cypriot leader was invited to a dinner, it angered the Greek Cypriot leader, and canceled peace talks. What can you tell us about this?
Answer: Well, this was not an arrangement done by the United Nations. As far as we are aware the Turkish Cypriot leader Mustafa Akıncı was not a participant at the World Humanitarian Summit. He, however, attended a dinner upon invitation from the President of Turkey who hosted that event. The Secretary General was also there at that event as a guest, but like I said, the arrangement was made by the government of Turkey. That was not an event arrangement by the United Nations.
Question: But now it looks that these peace talks, the next meeting has been canceled. Is there anything happening to address this?
Answer: We haven’t received any official communication about that. However, at this important time in the process, the Secretary General would like to underline that the two leaders have demonstrated a great courage and perseverance in the process and they have achieved a lot. So the Secretary General encourages them to redouble their efforts in the months to come in the benefit of all Cypriots.
