Cyprus: Incredible Confessions By Clerides

Clerides also said that four Islam countries warned them that if the Cyprus issue was not solved in six months, they were going to recognize Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) and that both Greek Cyprus and Kofi Annan, the UN Secretary General, prevented this by stating that the talks were under way. On whether the elections in TRNC in December was important, Clerides said that if the opposition won the elections, it would be a turning point. According to Clerides, if the opposition won the elections in TRNC and if Greek Cypriots did not approach positively to talks, then it would be the Greek Cypriot side that was uncompromising.
