European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker has expressed his hope that Cyprus will be reunited in the first six months of 2016, in a press briefing on Friday.
“I am very confident that in the first six months of this year we will come to a final agreement on the reunification of that island,” he said.
“I certainly hope that will be the case because I very much like the Cypriots,” Juncker said.
The European Commission President added that he thought both Greek-Cypriots and Turkish-Cypriots are very hard-working, intelligent and educated people.
“I hope 2016 will be the year that we can finally resolve the Cyprus problem,” Juncker noted.
