Ercakica: We Have High Expectations From Talat - Christofias Meeting

LEFKOSA - We have high expectations from the meeting which will be held between Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) President Mehmet Ali Talat and Greek Cypriot leader Demetris Christofias, said TRNC Presidency spokesman Hasan Ercakica on Tuesday.
It is almost certain that Talat and Christofias will meet next week, he added.
Ercakica noted that TRNC is expecting that the meeting will shape the future of the Cyprus problem.
"Through the meeting, we will try to understand whether the change of Greek Cypriot leadership will mean a change in their political stance or not; whether new Greek Cypriot leadership will take up July 8th process as a process aiming to delay settlement (like Tassos Papadopoulos did) or not; and also we will try to understand what kind of solution will the new Greek Cypriot leadership search. These datum will show the future course of Cyprus problem," Ercakica said.
He added that if the new Greek Cypriot leadership adopts a similar policy as its predecessor, TRNC would be very disappointed.
