Turkey aims at finding Cyprus solution this year: FM

Xinhua, November 26, 2016 Adjust font size:

Turkey aims at a solution of the long-standing Cyprus problem by the end of 2016 despite a failure of reunification negotiations earlier this week, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said during a short visit to the northern part of the island on Friday.

Cavusoglu conferred with Turkish Cypriot leader Mustafa Akinci on the next steps after Akinci and Cypriot President Nicos Anastasiades failed to strike an agreement on territorial adjustments in their negotiations in Switzerland.

"Turkey fully supports the process and will do so in the coming days. We want the negotiations to achieve the target of a solution in 2016," said Cavusoglu. Enditem
