Following the Turkish Cypriot leadership, the leader of the People's Party (PL) also took a negative position on the new Confidence Building Measures (CBMs), which were recently put forward by the Greek Cypriot side.
According to the Press and Information Office, Avroupa writes that the chairman of the People's Party (PL), Kudret Ozersai, argued that the Turkish Cypriot side should make a counter-proposal and reformulate the package of CBMs presented by the Greek Cypriot side, which he said cannot be accepted in its present form.
According to the newspaper, Ojersai also said that the change of circumstances should be taken into account for Varosha, as was done in the past with the illegal airport in Tymbou.
Ojersai said there is no common ground between the two sides in terms of finding a "comprehensive solution", while adding that even when "different elements" were added to the MoU from time to time, even temporarily, negotiations for a permanent solution in Cyprus collapsed.
Commenting on the MoU, Ojersai expressed the view that from a diplomatic point of view it is a "manoeuvring tool."
