The Secretary-General spoke today with H.E. Mr. Demetris Christofias, Greek Cypriot Leader, and with H.E. Mr. Dervis Eroglu, Turkish Cypriot Leader. He informed the two leaders that he met the previous day with his Special Adviser on Cyprus, Mr. Alexander Downer.
On the basis of this discussion, the Secretary-General shared his assessment that there is not the sufficient progress on core issues that would provide a basis for calling an international conference at this time.
He urged the two sides to take bold and decisive action in order to move the process forward. He also informed the leaders that his conclusions would be discussed with them in more detail by SASG Downer, who will travel to Cyprus next week for this purpose.
