The Greek Minister of Foreign Affairs Dimitris Droutsas, said Friday that he wants to see a settlement in the Republic of Cyprus. His statement is based on United Nations Security Council resolutions and takes into consideration the accumulated European Union (EU) legislation.
“Since the Republic of Cyprus is a full member of the EU, this must be taken into account in the search for a settlement,” Droutsas told reporters here, after meeting with UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon.
The UN-sponsored talks, which began in 2008, seek to set up a federal government with a single international personality in a bi- zonal, bi-communal country, with a Turkish Cypriot constituent state and a Greek Cypriot constituent state of equal status.
The UN chief will provide the Security Council with a report on the state of the talks by the end of February.
