National Council discusses property

President Christofias yesterday briefed the National Council members on the negotiations on property, after both Greek and Turkish Cypriots submitted proposals on the issue.

Government Spokesman Stefanos Stefanou said that initial comments on the proposals were made by some political parties and it was agreed that the discussion would be continued at a subcommittee on property and subsequently concluded at another meeting of the National Council.

“The effort is to have consensus; that is why there will be a very specific discussion in the property sub-committee,” Stefanou said. “Each party will submit its own proposals, thoughts, assessments, comments on the proposals in a bid to find a common element.”

He also revealed that the government had taken certain steps to stop future leaks from taking place. Reports in the press said that Christofias had marked the documents containing the proposals he had given to each party and was able to prove that the leak came from the Green party and Mr Perdikis. Mr Perdikis himself denied such a thing, saying he had been abroad at the time.
