Presidential candidate Achilleas Demetriades, referring to President Anastasiades' letter to the T/C leader, Ersin Tatar, says that "the complete rejection of President Anastasiades' proposals by the T/C leader Ersin Tatar confirms the cost of inaction from 2017 - 2020 and that things are not a given".
In a written statement. Demetriades notes that "it is time for both the President and his two colleagues, former Foreign Minister Nikos Christodoulides and former negotiator Andreas Mavroyiannis, to answer why the Akinci proposal was not accepted in May 2018, to make the Guterres Framework a strategic agreement to continue negotiations and address the "essential aspects of the Cyprus problem" such as ending interventionist rights, withdrawal of occupying troops, territory and guaranteeing fundamental freedoms.
The statement also notes that "no one in the international arena is interested in entering into a new cycle of endless discussions, nor in an MEA of reheated food". "The Cyprus problem is at a tragic impasse", Demetriades says, noting that "there is no room for any more management of the Cyprus problem for internal consumption."
