Asked to comment on what Mr. Tatar, a competent source told CNA that they were "part of the effort to promote its position on sovereign rights and to show that the pseudo-state exists as an entity that makes proposals".
Regarding the issue of the MoU, the same source noted that it is the President of the Republic, Nicos Anastasiades, who has tabled a number of such measures to be implemented with the aim that they will benefit both communities and that there will be an improvement in the climate so that there can be a return to negotiations for the resolution of the Cyprus problem.
It is recalled that President Anastasiades, when asked last Saturday about his next steps, stated that he will present a comprehensive proposal to the European Council on the need for Europe to take initiatives both for the solution of the Cyprus problem and for the adoption of a substantive MoU, which will truly restore confidence and pave the way for a new creative dialogue.
These issues will be included in the discussions between Foreign Minister Ioannis Kasoulides and his US counterpart Anthony Blinken in Washington during their talks at the State Department on 1 February. Mr. Kasoulides is on a working visit to the US, where he will meet with other officials at the invitation of Mr. Blinken.
Meanwhile, President Anastasiades is expected to travel to Brest, France on February 10 to participate on the 11th in the "One Ocean Summit" on issues related to the oceans and their protection, at the invitation of French President Emmanuel Macron. He may have bilateral contacts on the sidelines of the summit with other leaders also attending the summit.
