"We gave a detailed announcement of the Secretary-General's meeting with President Erdogan and I would just like to refer you to the details of that announcement. As far as our position on Cyprus is concerned, it is well known and, as you know, we continue to work with the parties involved, trying to find a solution to the problem in Cyprus. That's all I should say on this issue."
