Anastasiadis has received Tatar’s proposals

Greek Cypriot leader Nicos Anastasiades on Wednesday dismissed the proposals prepared by Turkish Cypriot leader Ersin Tatar earlier this month, saying they were a new attempt for a two-state solution.

The proposals were received by Anastasiades through the United Nations, a written statement by government spokesman Marios Pelekanos said.

Media reported the focus was on natural gas collaboration.

Tatar submitted the proposals to the UN’s Assistant Secretary-General for Europe, Asia, and the Americas Miroslav Jenča during their meeting on July 1, while two more were submitted on July 8.

Anastasiades notes with regret that the new proposals constitute another attempt to establish the “unacceptable narrative” of a two-state solution.
However, he added that he would be ready to discuss all the proposals, both those put forward by himself and those put forward by the Turkish Cypriot leader, provided that the dialogue takes place on the basis of the agreed framework for a solution, as set out in UN resolutions and Security Council resolutions.
