UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon believes that in the last several
months the most encouraging developments have been observed in Cyprus
during the last thirty years.
Replying to a question, during his monthly press conference, whether he
has any suggestions or ideas for the future concerning the Cyprus
issue, the Secretary General noted that ``during the last 30-year-long
conflict period, I think we have seen in last several months the most
encouraging developments of the situation through very frequent
bilateral talks between the two leaders of the two communities``.
``The United Nations, through our Special Envoy, Mr. [Alexander]
Downer, and at my level also, have been strongly supporting these
negotiations between the two leaders of the two communities``, he
added.
He said the two leaders have made significant progress, which we have
not been able to see during the last three decades.
``Thats quite commendable. They have been meeting around 30 times now.
They have completed the first round of their meetings on many important
subjects, including security and property issues``, he noted.
The Secretary General expressed hope that they will be able to finish
their consultations, negotiations as soon as possible.
