NO:86 - 23 May 2008, Press Release Regarding the Meeting of the two Leaders in Cyprus
We welcome the meeting of the two leaders in Cyprus on 23 May 2008, under the auspices of the UN Special Representative in Cyprus.
Turkey supports the preparatory process initiated on 21 March 2008 and expects the two leaders to begin direct negotiations as soon as possible under the Good Offices Mission of the UN Secretary General, for the achievement of a comprehensive and just solution in Cyprus within established UN parameters, which comprise the establishment of a new Partnership State based on bi-zonality, political equality and the equal status of the two Constituent States.
