Government spokesman: Ankara’s role crucial in Cyprus talks

Ankara is key to the efforts aimed at solving the Cyprus problem, government spokesman Konstantinos Letymbiotis said on Thursday.

To this end, this is why EU-Turkey relations can play a significant role, he told journalists during a press briefing.

Letymbiotis was responding to a question as to whether he believes there is a difference of opinion between Ankara and Turkish Cypriot leader Ersin Tatar.

He underlined it was well-known that the key to the effort behind these talks lies in Ankara.
