Cyprus President Nikos Christodoulides on Monday extended his congratulations to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan for his re-election and emphasized Cyprus’ preparedness to resume discussions on the Cyprus issue, picking up from where they left off in Crans-Montana in 2017.
“With the completion of the electoral process, our efforts enter a second stage, as it represents a significant milestone, and we remain hopeful for forthcoming developments,” Christodoulides stated during a press conference held at an event organized by the Ministry of Energy and hydrocarbon companies.
