U svojim uvodnim napomenama u srijedu, Christofias je naglasio da bi svako eventualno rješenje trebalo biti zasnovano na principima koje su on i Talat potvrdili tokom svojih prethodnih sastanaka.
In his opening remarks Wednesday, Christofias stressed that any solution should rest on the principles he and Talat have reaffirmed during their previous meetings.
