In his remarks on the sidelines of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly conference in Nicosia, and asked about a letter with the proposed MEAs sent, among others, to the Turkish Cypriot leader, but also to the United Nations, Mr. Kasoulides said that "the letter contained several issues as an indication of our goodwill" more indicating what is the common good for Cyprus.
Among other things, he continued, he has the proposal for the MoU, which had been submitted by President Anastasiades a year ago to the UN Secretary General, but "because it was not agreed upon, the proposal is being made again to give it a chance to be discussed".
Asked about the prospects of the proposals tabled, the Foreign Minister said that "we are proposing both on the Cyprus issue and on the MEAs and the Turkish side has so far rejected it." He noted, however, that so far he has not heard any rejection of the MEAs.
"We have no rejection yet. I don't discount that we won't, but I believe that because it is a unique opportunity that will offer the TC community both economic progress and prosperity, we believe that this proposal should not be rejected because such opportunities will not always be offered," the minister stressed.
Regarding Turkey's actions in the region, Kasoulides said that steps have been taken, but noted that "Turkey wants to make its own policy."
