CHRISTOFIAS WARNED DOWNER: “DON’T GIVE TOO MUCH HOPE”
Greek Cypriot weekly Kathimerini reported that the Greek Cypriot leader Demetris Christofias because of Downer’s recent statement following the last meeting between Talat and Christofias, invited UN Special Envoy Alexander Downer to the Greek Cypriot Presidential Palace and expressed his concerns about his statements increasing the expectations of the people.
According to the news, Christofias brought to the attention of Downer the issue of creating too much optimistic environment. After the last Talat-Christofias meeting, Christofias didn’t agree with Downer’s explanation to the effect that a real progress was achieved and an agreement was reached for the first time since 1974.
Greek Cypriot side pointed out that the situation was not as encouraging as was tried to be displayed because there were still remaining important obstacles, which should be solved on significant issues such as property, and administration and that sensitive issues such as territory and security were not still discussed.
