AKEL Urges Christodoulides to Clarify Position on Guterres Framework

According to Filelefteros, AKEL's call comes in response to recent statements by the Deputy Government Spokesperson concerning the Guterres framework. The party seeks a clear declaration from Christodoulides on whether he supports resuming negotiations based on the 2017 Guterres framework.

The report highlights that the Deputy Government Spokesperson's comments on the Guterres framework and political equality have caused confusion and raised serious questions.

AKEL argued that the Guterres framework should not be seen as a list of topics but as a set of understandings on core issues of the Cyprus problem, which is intrinsically linked to negotiation gains. The party also emphasized that political equality is not only defined by UN resolutions but has gained specific content through negotiations.

AKEL claimed that the issue of political equality was nearly resolved during the 2017 conference. They questioned whether the government is clear on these matters and what messages are being sent to the UN and the international community by the government.

The party's statement underscores the need for clarity in the Greek Cypriot leadership's stance on critical negotiation issues.
