"This goal can be achieved in only one way: the final solution of the Cyprus problem and the reunification of our country," he noted.

According to the Secretary of the Council of Ministers, "the progress that has been made so far in the talks is significant".

"Governments, the economy, the European Union and property are nearing completion, and if the expected progress is made, then the territorial debate will move forward, which is the first time that the the Turkish side did, forty-two years after the illegal occupation and occupation of 37,8% of the Cypriot territory ".
