Remarks of the Secretary of State John Kerry with Cypriot Foreign Minister Ioannis Kasoulides before their meeting - 09/05/2013
SECRETARY KERRY: Good morning, everybody. It is my great pleasure to welcome Foreign Minister Kasoulides of Cyprus, and really at an important time. Cyprus is a very good friend of the United States, and I know that Cyprus, as everybody does, has been struggling with very, very deep economic challenges. So we are very understanding of the difficult choices that you’ve had to make and the challenges that you face. We certainly want to be helpful in ways that we can be.

We also look forward to working with the Foreign Minister and with President Anastasiades and others to try to move Cyprus forward on one of the world’s frozen conflicts. I have talked personally with the Prime Minister of Turkey and the Foreign Minister of Turkey several times, I’ve talked with the Foreign Minister of Greece, and I’ve talked to the President of Cyprus, and I hope that there is a way. The United States supports a bizonal, bicommunal federation. We would like to see us unfreeze this conflict and be able to move to a resolution.

Statement by the President of the Republic Mr Nicos Anastasiades on the economy - 25/03/2013
During the last few days the situation of the economy and the banking system worsened dramatically. This resulted in the convening of the extraordinary meeting of the Eurogroup in Brussels, with the ultimate goal being the achievement of a loan agreement and the approval of a rescue programme. Otherwise, we would have been led to the collapse and the bankruptcy of the state.

Our going to Brussels for an extremely difficult mission had only one aim: To succeed in saving our homeland through the stabilization and the rectification of our banking system.
