FOREIGN Minister Ioannis Kasoulides on Wednesday denied reports in the Turkish mainland press that the two community leaders would pay respective visits to Athens and Ankara as their chief negotiators did at the end of last month.According to the newspaper Aksam, the proposal that President Nicos Anastasiades and Turkish Cypriot leader Dervis Eroglu would visit their ‘opposite motherlands’ as the leaders of the two communities was put forward by Turkey, but the Cyprus government had not accepted such a move as yet, it said.Nor is it likely to. Turkey does not recognise the Cyprus Republic and would not accept Anastasiades arriving as President of the Republic of Cyprus. It is also unlikely the government would relish sending the president off as the ‘leader of the Greek Cypriot community’, the term used by the UN within the context of the talks.The Greek Cypriot side’s chief negotiator Andreas Mavroyiannis visited Ankara on February 27. At the same time Turkish Cypriot negotiator Kudret Ozersay journeyed to Athens as part of the current round of negotiations that began on February 11.Kasoulides told CyBC he had no information about a similar arrangement for the two leaders, and even if it existed it would not be accepted.“We should stick with the visits of negotiators to Athens and Ankara, respectively, and see how it goes,” the minister said.He did welcome the move for the two leaders to meet as part of the talks by the end of March.Meanwhile, the two negotiators met separately on Tuesday with US ambassador John Koenig but no statements were made.Mavroyiannis and Ozersay have already begun substantive talks. They met earlier on Tuesday and will meet again next Tuesday. Ozersay was reported yesterday as saying the sides understood each other better on some issues and that the picture was becoming clearer.The two sides should be aware that they could not get a hundred per cent of what they wanted at the negotiating table, he said. “The sides are coming to the table knowing this. If our approach is in this direction, it is possible to find a solution.”
