There is a lot of work to do on the property issue, Alexander Downing the UN Secretary-General’s Special Advisor on Cyprus admitted after the leaders of the two communities held a meeting on the issue yesterday.
“As I have explained before this a comprehensive and difficult issue and they are just continuing the work on the property question”, he added. “Over time the ambition here is to achieve greater degrees of convergence and we look forward to that progressing”.
He added that the two leaders' representatives and their teams are going to come together on Thursday for further discussions about the property question and then the leaders will meet again on Friday afternoon to review what has been done. They have also mapped out further meetings into December, he said.
President Christofias on his part told the press after the meeting that “there is nothing new” and “we are not yet ready to have an in-depth discussion”.
According to the Cyprus Mail, it is understood that the two sides are discussing who would have the first say on what happens with private property: the rightful owner or the current occupant.
