National Council convenes to discuss way forward in Cyprus issue
President Nicos Anastasiades chairs, on Monday, a meeting of the National Council, the top advisory body to the President, comprising parliamentary party leaders, with discussions expected to focus on the way forward in the Cyprus issue.
The meeting is set to begin at 0930 hours local tie (0630 GMT).
UN-backed talks that took place between June 28-July 7, in Crans-Montana, Switzerland, ended inconclusively. Peace talks aim to reunite Cyprus, divided since the 1974 Turkish invasion, under a federal roof.
Members of the National Council are set to exchange views on the state of affairs and the next steps which should be taken.
The National Council will meet again on Tuesday in the presence of Greek Foreign Minister Nikos Kotzias.
