"I am ready to accept the proposals of the UN Secretary-General’s Personal Envoy, María Ángela Olguín, regarding the Cyprus issue—which pertain to the terms of reference, substance, and methodology," Nikos Christodoulides stated as he departed the Presidential Palace to attend the trilateral meeting with Turkish Cypriot leader Tufan Erhurman and Ms. Olgin.
The President of the Republic spoke of a “particularly positive atmosphere” and explained that, since last Tuesday, he has accepted all the proposals submitted by Ms. Olgin, adding that “we were awaiting the Turkish side’s responses to be announced; I imagine they will be submitted today, and I hope they will be positive.”

He expressed hope that the way would be paved for further positive developments and clarified, regarding the issue of opening the roadblock at Kokkina, that it “always been on the table,” a statement that is in stark contrast to what Ms. Olgin said in an interview.
Nikos Christodoulides also commented that he has been reading certain reports that are not accurate regarding an agreement on the MOE, urging citizens to be patient.
