Denktas: Swedish model rejected

During the talks, said Denktas, he had proposed a Swedish model for the island entailing two equal states, but Papadopoulos had turned this down. He further criticized the media’s coverage of the Cyprus issue, saying that negative news about the talks was being deliberately published. “If the media loses credibility, then this could damage democracy,” warned Denktas. “The media’s behavior has been odd and very disappointing.” Denktas and Papadopoulos are set to meet again today.
