Cyprus’ Foreign Minister Ioannis Kasoulides believes that the two technical committees, to be established in the framework of the United Nations-led direct talks, will keep the peace process going and will deal with issues which should be looked into anyway.
Speaking with CNA news agency, the Minister did not rule out the possibility of seeing Turkish Cypriot leader Rauf Denktash agreeing to a continuation of the talks after December, when the European Union (EU) is expected to invite Cyprus to join.
Kasoulides dismissed criticism that the use of the term 'common state' could lead to problems for the Greek Cypriot side at the negotiating table. (Albawba.com)
