Cyprus's president on Wednesday said he was committed to resuming reunification talks with Turkish Cypriots, and said any deal should be based on U.N. resolutions.
The United Nations has called an informal gathering of Greek and Turkish Cypriots, along with stakeholders Turkey, Britain and Greece in Geneva on March 17-18, to discuss a way forward in breaking a deadlock in talks which stalled in 2017.
"Our goal is one: to resume talks from where they left off ... on the basis of the agreed (U.N.) framework. We are not discussing anything else," President Nikos Christodoulides told journalists in Nicosia, Cyprus's ethnically-split capital.
He has been invited to attend the March talks as leader of the Greek Cypriot community alongside Turkish Cypriot leader Ersin Tatar, the head of a breakaway Turkish Cypriot state in north Cyprus recognised only by Turkey.
