Speaking to reporters after returning to the Presidential Palace at the end of the meeting, President Mehmet Ali Talat said probably they will start to the second stage of the negotiations after the completion of the chapter on “Security and Guarantees”.

Talat also expressed that while they are discussing the issue of security and guarantees the a four party meeting with the participation of Turkey and Greece or even a five party meeting with the participation of Britain might take place. “However there is no such decision taken this is only our view” he added. 

On the topic of territory Talat said “We only discussed the fundamental principles over which differences between the two sides exist. Naturally these differences will be more visible when maps relating to the boundaries of the constituent states emerge. However since our talks are not very concrete, the true scale of our differences will emerge when we reach that stage”. 

Stating that they decided the timetable of the negotiations until the month of October “if an important difficulty doesn’t come up”, Talat said they also exchanged views on the procedure of opening of the Yeþilýrmak crossing point and nominated their representatives.
