Greek Cypriot intransigence is hindering a solution to the island’s problems, the prime minister of Turkish Cyprus said during a press conference in Istanbul on Tuesday.

The text of agreements for a solution have remained continually on the table, yet have not been approved by Greek Cypriots, Turkish Cypriot Prime Minister Derviş Eroğlu said following a meeting with the Turkish Industrialists’ and Businessmen’s Association, or TÜSİAD.

A solution is possible if any two sides experiencing problems can reach an acceptable agreement, Eroğlu said, adding that the Greek side has always tried to gain a greater advantage without making any concessions.
