United Nations.- Turkish Cypriot leader Mustafa Akinci says he expects Sunday's tripartite meeting and the UN headquarters with President Anastasiades and U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon to provide a road map for reunification of Cyprus.
Akinci was speaking to the press, following his meeting on Saturday, with Secretary Ban. A read out from UN spokesman's office says, "the Secretary-General and the Turkish Cypriot leader discussed progress in the full-fledged negotiations between the Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot leaders, facilitated by the Special Adviser to the Secretary-General on Cyprus, Mr. Espen Barth Eide.
"Hopefully tomorrow's meeting … will indicate the way which will carry us to the long-awaited final conclusion," Akinci said.
Akinci said he also hoped for an agreement in 2016, in part because Ban's term of office ends in December, a new U.S. administration will be in office and new drilling will start in Cyprus' EEZ.
