Ahead of renewed Cyprus peace talks, scheduled to begin in Switzerland on Wednesday, Turkish Cypriot President Mustafa Akinci spoke with reporters at Lefkosa's Ercan International Airport on Monday. He described the upcoming talks as a decision making opportunity for the future of the long-divided Mediterranean island. Highlighting that Turkey would attend the talks for good purposes, Akinci called on all sides to be reasonable and realistic. The Turkish Cypriot President went on to say that a successful outcome at the end of the conference would not only be significant for everyone living on the island, but also for regional and world peace.
