According to KYPE, the agreement reached concerns the opening of the roadblock on the basis of the proposal of the Greek Cypriot side for the use of the existing road, ie the old road of Varosia. In this context, the Turkish army outpost, located in the area, will be moved. The head of the e / k side in the Technical Committee, Sotos Zakhaios, when asked by KYPE, confirmed the relevant information, noting that the representatives of the Turkish Cypriot side in the Commission “stated that they have already received the political instructions to accept the relevant request of e / k side ”.

According to Sigma TV, in the last meeting of the two technical committees there was a positive mood from the Turkish Cypriot side which seems to be withdrawing from the two proposals it had submitted and as everything shows, in the next meeting it will probably give its consent to the proposal. The Greek Cypriot side had submitted from the beginning for the use of the existing road, ie the old avenue from Deryneia to the center of Famagusta.

About halfway there will be a slight deviation, probably with the construction of a roundabout, to overcome the obstacle of a Turkish camp.

According to information, the announcement of the agreement for opening the roadmap is not excluded to be made by the two leaders in their next or next meeting.

Once the two leaders turn green, it will take three months to build the road and the roadblock. That is, it is not excluded that if everything goes well, the opening of the roadblock of Deryneia will be a New Year's gift.
