The President Dervis Eroglu said: "If the Greek Cypriots have the intention to find solution, it's not that hard. However, if they imagine returning to pre-1974 conditions, they shouldn’t waste time. It is important that the problem doesn’t last another 50 years "
Mr. Anastasiades, speaking at a press conference in South Cyprus, said: "If Turkey will take the necessary steps, the decision may be reached by Christmas." He also said he would not participate in the negotiations, only "for the sake of dialogue," but is ready to act if Turkey and Northern Cyprus will take bold steps to build confidence, while at the same time, following the norms and values of the EU, and adhering to the UN resolutions.
