Denktas: We couldn’t convince each other

Responding questions of journalists following the meeting, President Denktas said, "TRNC parliament will convene automatically ten days after publication of results of Sunday’s parliamentary elections in the Official Gazette."

"According to my point of view, formation of a national government will be best thing. Leaders of political parties have been expanding efforts to this end. I hope that we will not loose time," he said.

Describing his meeting with Weston as "very well", Denktas told reporters, "however, we could not convince each other on some issues."

Meanwhile, Weston said that they shared the same opinions about finding a solution.

Noting that they had held a very productive and sincere meeting, Weston said that a joint view had emerged following the talks that a solution should be reached in Cyprus without any delay.
