Negotiations must be resumed "as soon as possible" and the Cyprus problem can only be resolved within the framework of a united federal Cyprus, in accordance with the relevant UN resolutions and the EU acquis communautaire, Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot political party representatives said in a joint communiqué after their regular meeting on Wednesday at the Ledra Palace Hotel.
Specifically, the joint communiqué states that the leaders and representatives of the Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot political parties participating in the bi-communal dialogue under the auspices of the Embassy of the Slovak Republic in Nicosia met for their regular meeting on 30 November 2022 at the Ledra Palace.
"They agreed that negotiations should resume as soon as possible and that the Cyprus problem can only be resolved within the framework of a united federal Cyprus, in accordance with the relevant UN resolutions and the EU acquis communautaire," the communiqué reads.
They also expressed, it added, "the view that the Karpasia peninsula, like all other ecologically sensitive areas in Cyprus, should continue to be used for purely environmental and cultural purposes and not as military areas."
As reported, the meeting expressed views on the issue proposed by the host side, the United Cyprus Party (BKP) under the title "The Cyprus problem can only be solved by reaching a federal solution. What kind of common struggle should be organized to reach a united Cyprus?"
The next meeting will take place on Wednesday, January 25, 2023, hosted by the Green Party of Cyprus, the communiqué concludes.
