Cypriot President says the settlement issue is possible to be reached in 2011

Settlement of the Cyprus issue could be reached by the end of 2011, under the condition that leader of Turkish Cypriots Dervis Eroglu and Ankara accept a solution based on the formula of creating a federation of two communities in the island,  President of the Republic of Cyprus Demetris said.

Christofias noted that Eroglu did not demonstrate a constructive position at the Geneva meeting on January 26, failing to produce a positive response to the former’s proposal for a UN count of the population in the Turkish part of Cyprus, in order to determine the number of Turkish immigrants on the island.
