JOINT STATEMENT BY GREEK CYPRIOT LEADER DEMETRIS CHRISTOFIAS AND TURKISH CYPRIOT LEADER MEHMET ALI TALAT
23 May 2008
The Leaders today had genuine and fruitful discussions, and reviewed the results achieved pursuant to the 21 March agreement.
They reaffirmed their commitment to a bi-zonal, bi-communal federation with political equality, as defined by relevant Security Council resolutions. This partnership will have a Federal Government with a single international personality, as well as a Turkish Cypriot Constituent State and a Greek Cypriot Constituent State, which will be of equal status.
They instructed their Representatives to examine, within 15 days, the results of the technical committees.
The Representatives will consider civilian and military confidence-building measures. They will also pursue the opening of Limnitis/Yeşilırmak and other crossing points.
The Leaders decided to come together again in the second half of June to make a new assessment.
