Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras on Monday spoke separately by phone with the new United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres and European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker, with discussions focusing directly on the latest negotiations aimed to find a solution to the long-standing Cyprus problem.
A renewed multi-party conference will resume this week in Geneva.
According to a statement by his office, Tsipras reportedly underlined the Greek side commitment to the finding of a fair and viable solution based on UN resolutions and the Republic of Cyprus’ identity as a European Union member-state.
Tsipras also repeated Athens’ standing positions of a withdrawal of all occupation military forces from the island and the abolition of the guarantor powers’ regime, saying this will benefit all of the Cypriot people.
