German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier welcomed on Tuesday the imminent resumption of Cyprus negotiations that were agreed upon by Cypriot President Nicos Anastasiades and the newly elected leader of the Turkish-Cypriot community, Mustafa Akinci.
In a statement released by the Ministry, Steinmeier said the news “rekindles hopes that it is possible to overcome the division.” He also noted that both sides will benefit from a reunification as the existing status is not satisfactory for anyone, adding that the solution to the Cyprus problem would be beneficial for the entire southeastern Mediterranean region.
“Jointly with our European and international partners, we are calling on both sides to seize this momentum for a comprehensive agreement,” he said.
