Cyprus envoy must operate within the UN Secretary-General’s mandate outlined by UN resolutions, President says

Whoever is appointed as an envoy for the Cyprus issue on behalf of the UN Secretary General should act in the framework of the UNSG’s mandate, on the basis of UN resolutions, President of Cyprus, Nicos Anastasiades, said on Monday.

In statements on the sidelines of an event, to celebrate the 46th anniversary of the Democratic Rally (DISY), in Nicosia, the President replied to a relevant question by saying that he is not aware who is going to be appointed as envoy.

“What I do know, is that this persons will definitely be an official serving in the UN”, he said, adding that “what matters is that whoever assumes the role must operate in the framework of the mandate the Secretary-General has, on the basis of UN resolutions.”

Answering whether he has received the Turkish Cypriot leader’s proposals, handed over to the UN on Friday, the President said that he has not received anything yet.
