Referring to his proposal, the President emphasized on the need for a functional state that will be effective within the EU. Moreover, the source noted, he underlined the need for the settlement to create conditions of security in the country in a way that the perception about the security of one community will not constitute a threat for the other community.

Moreover the same source noted that the effort is to get the Cyprus problem back to the track of the negotiations something which constitutes the main aim of the President`s interventions and to which he focused during his meeting with the UNSG as well.

As regards Anastasiades meeting with the Greek Foreign Minister, Nikos Dendias, the source said that they reviewed the situation and agreed on concrete proposals that the two governments will undertake in view of the developments in the framework of the informal meeting and beyond that.

The 5+1 informal meeting on Cyprus which the UNSG has convened kicked off on Tuesday in Geneva and is scheduled to last until Thursday.

Cyprus has been divided since 1974, when Turkey invaded and occupied its northern third. Repeated rounds of UN-led peace talks have so far failed to yield results.
