‘Conditions for restart of negotiations must be created in NY’

Conditions for the resumption of negotiations must be created at the upcoming enlarged meeting on the Cyprus problem in New York, deputy government spokesman Yiannis Antoniou said on Sunday.

The 5+1 meeting will take place on July 16 and 17 with representatives from the three guarantor powers, the UN and the EU.

In preparation for that meeting the UNSG’s personal envoy for Cyprus Maria Angela Holguin was due to arrive in Cyprus on Sunday before meeting President Nikos Christodoulides on Monday.
