[01] President: Morphou must be returned under Greek Cypriot administration

Cyprus President Nicos Anastasiades has said that the Turkish occupied town of Morphou is among the areas that must be returned to the Greek Cypriots, under their administration, once a settlement of the Cyprus problem is achieved.

Speaking during an anti-occupation rally organised on Sunday by the Morphou municipality and communities, the President also assured the Turkish Cypriots that necessary assistance will be given to those who will have to be relocated so that Greek Cypriots will be able to return to their houses, adding that his presence at the rally indicates his will to support this position and his determination to pursue what the people of Morphou want so that a solution can be accepted.

Therefore, he added, Morphou must be among the areas that should be under the Greek Cypriot administration.

[02] Finance Minister discusses in Washington Cyprus' economy and financial aspects of a settlement

It is inconceivable to oppose a Cyprus solution, citing financial difficulties, Minister of Finance Harris Georgiades has said, noting however that it is equally problematic to disregard the need for proper preparation, in order to have effective arrangements in place following a Cyprus settlement.

In an interview with CNA, Georgiades referred to his contacts in Washington, in the margins of the 2016 Annual Meetings of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank. The meetings focused on the progress of the Cypriot economy, following the termination of the country`s consolidation programme, and on the financial aspects of a Cyprus solution.
