On 4 April 2006, the TRNC President Mehmet Ali Talat responded to the letter of UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan sent at the end of March 2006. In his letter President Talat requested from Secretary- General Kofi Annan to display a clearer attitude on the issue of settlement.

In the letter President Talat gave the following message:

“As you are well aware, during the new settlement process, we believe the Plan, which is called by your name, should be taken as a base. However, one issue should be clarified. Will Annan Plan be on the table during the new settlement process or not? This is not very clear for me. Could you please clarify this issue and explain your concrete ideas.”
