President Nicos Anastasiades and Turkish Cypriot leader Mustafa Akinci will be holding their second to last intensified meeting on Saturday.
It is the seventh meeting that will be held in regards to the intensified phase of the Cyprus talks, which have been taking place over the month of September, in the run up to the UN General Assembly in New York.
Anastasiades and Akinci will be meeting anew on September 14, where they are expected to issue a joint press release on the ongoing talks.
Cyprus’ government will be holding a meeting of the National Council following the end of the meetings, the government had previously reported.
There is a possibility that Anastasiades, Akinci, and the UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon could meet in New York, as per the President’s announcement, and Turkish Cypriot media reports on the matter. The meeting would be held on the side-lines of the UN General Assembly.
