Τα Ηνωμένα Έθνη εξέδωσαν το απόγευμα της 10ης Φεβρουαρίου 2017 το πιο κάτω ανακοινωθέν με τη συνέντευξη που παραχώρησε στην Κωνσταντινούπολη προς τον Τύπο ο Γενικός Γραμματέας του ΟΗΕ κ. António Guterres, μετά από τη συνάντηση που είχε με τον Τούρκο Πρωθυπουργό κ. Binali Yildirim.
Οι αναφορές που αφορούν στην Κύπρο παρατίθενται αυτούσιες ως ακολούθως:
«Turkey is one of the guarantor powers in the Conference for Cyprus, for the unity of Cyprus, and I am hopeful that the efforts of the two communities that go on meeting at the highest level and the efforts of the guarantor powers will allow for a breakthrough in the near future; a breakthrough able to fully respect the concerns of the Turkish Cypriot community about its security but, at the same time, compatible with the concerns of the Greek Cypriot community.
And we believe that it will be possible to find solutions for the range of issues that are still outstanding. The United Nations will be entirely at the disposal of the two Cypriot communities and of the guarantor powers to support the search for a solution that is acceptable for all.
Questions on the timeline for a solution in Cyprus.
Secretary-General: First of all, in relation to Cyprus, the two leaders of the two communities are meeting every week now and are making progress in relation to the outstanding issues that need to be solved between the two communities. At the same time, we have the security guarantees package that will have to be discussed with the guarantors.
The two processes are interlinked and so there is not yet a date fixed for the Conference, but we will be working together in order to make sure that from this interlinkage, we come to the best possible chances of success.
Now you asked what are the chances?
Usually, when asked if I am optimistic or pessimistic about a process, I answer with a famous sentence by Jean Monnet: I am not optimistic, I am not pessimistic, I am just determined.
I am determined to do my best, knowing that the role of the United Nations is not the leading role. The leading role is of the communities and the guarantors. We are in a supporting role but I am determined to do my best to help facilitate the conditions for a success.»
