Cyprus President Glafcos Clerides has said he is seeking to reach a negotiated agreement that would be a "win-win" situation for Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots alike. 

 

The President urged the international community to exert its influence on the Turkish side in a more forceful manner now than it has done in the past to help the latest United Nations efforts towards a solution, according to Cyprus News Agency. 

 

"Neither the Greek Cypriots nor the Turkish Cypriots have gained anything from the troubles of the past. We were all losers. Now we want to win, all of us, as part of a compromise solution, which will be acceptable to both communities," the President said, during the unveiling of a monument dedicated to two Greek Cypriots killed in the inter-communal fighting of the early 1960s.
