Greek Cypriot leader Chistofias: "If we can't reach a solution on the island, we'll blame Turkey"

Greek Cypriot administration leader Dimitris Christofias yesterday said that if the current peace talks on Cyprus fail, they plan to blame this on Turkey. Speaking at a conference, Christofias said that for the last five months they have been trying to overcome hurdles on the Cyprus issue, adding that he can't promise that these efforts will lead to a solution. He also said, "I won't say the negotiations are going well, but we're defending basic principles."
