South Cyprus said it will not accept a Two-State solution model in Cyprus

South Cyprus Minister of Foreign Affairs Ioannis Kasoulides has said the south will not accept the two-state proposal by the TRNC. 

According to report by, Kibris Postasi when asked in an interview with Astra Radio, if the the proposal for two equal and sovereign states in Cyprus “could be overturned”, Kasoulidessaid that this proposal was “contrary to the thesis of the rest of the world, the UN Security Council and the EU; the Greek Cypriot administration had to reject this thesis and it could never be accepted”.

Claiming that “If there is anyone who needs to change this thesis, it is Turkey“, Kasoulides said, “Negotiations cannot be held as long as the other side has this thesis, but on the other hand, negotiations on Confidence Building Measures (CBM) can be made“.

Regarding the President of the European Commission Ursula Von Der Leyen’s proposal to launch a bi-communal project on renewable energy, Kasoulides said that preliminary consultations were held to build a solar energy array  in the UN buffer zone for the use of the two Cypriot communities, and that nothing official had happened so far.
