UN SECRETARY GENERALS' RESPONSE TO A QUESTIONS FOLLOWING CONSULTATIONS OF THE SECURITY COUNCIL ON CYPRUS

 

3 June 2003

Question: Have you given up Cyprus ?

Secretary General: We have not given up on Cyprus Our position on Cyprus is that we will be prepared to work with the parties the moment they show genuine political will, both parties show genuine will, political will to make progress and to resolve the conflict. I think the Greek Cypriots and the Turkish Cypriots as well as the motherlands are looking into prospects for pressing ahead with the process. But I will wait to see that signal that both sides are ready and there is political will.
