PRIME MINISTER SOYER: "TECHNICAL COMMITTEES SHOULD MEET AND START WORKING"

Prime Minister Ferdi Sabit Soyer speaking before the TRNC Council of Ministers Meeting yesterday (17 May), called upon the UN Secretary General’s Special Representative to Cyprus and UNFICYP Chief of Mission Michael Moller to stick to his proposal and requested the technical committees to be set up between the two sides and start working as soon as possible.

Reminding that Moller had made a proposal regarding the establishment of technical committees between the two sides in order to discuss the technical issues of the Cyprus problem, Prime Minister Soyer stated that the President and the Turkish Cypriot Government had accepted this proposal, but still the committees has not yet been set up. Pointing out that Papadopoulos administration and his spokesmen in South Cyprus were constantly speaking on this issue, Soyer said: "the Turkish Cypriot side requests that these committees should immediately be set up and start working"

Calling upon Moller to announce the establishment of these committees as soon as possible, Soyer said otherwise, he would be in a position in which he couldn’t implement his own proposal and that this would only benefit Papadopoulos administration.
