The Cypriot government emphasizes the upgrading of relations with the United States through an intensive dialogue on a number of important issues, says Foreign Minister Nikos Christodoulidis, and announces that "soon there will be developments that will prove the strategic nature of the Nicosia-Nicosia relationship." ».

The Cypriot minister emphasizes that "the current situation cannot be the solution to the Cyprus problem and poses dangers for both the Greek Cypriots and the Turkish Cypriots."

In an interview with "Kathimerini" of Cyprus, Mr. Christodoulidis points out that the Greek Cypriot side is not interested in creating impressions or the game of claiming responsibility, but the essence and how the negotiation process can proceed.

According to the Cypriot minister, the dilemma before the Turkish Cypriots has never been clearer: "They want a future in a reunited homeland with the Greek Cypriots in an EU member state. or a future with Turkey with all that that entails? " He expresses the strong conviction that the vast majority of Turkish Cypriots prefer the former.

Referring to the possibility of the withdrawal of the UN Peacekeeping Force, without the prior resolution of the Cyprus issue, Mr. Christodoulidis stressed that "such a thing will affect not only the data in Cyprus, but also the role that the country plays in the region."
