Press Releases: Taken Question: U.S. Policy on Cyprus 11/12/2015 03:40 PM EST Taken Question: U.S. Policy on Cyprus Taken Question Office of the Spokesperson Washington, DC Question taken at the November 10th, 2015 Daily Press Briefing November 12, 2015 Attribution is on-the-record from Mark Toner, Deputy Spokesperson: Question: What is the U.S. point of view on Cyprus at this stage? Answer: Our policy on Cyprus has not changed. We fully support the UN-facilitated process under UN Special Adviser Espen Barth Eide, and we reiterate our willingness to assist the process in any way the parties find useful. As we have made clear, we are encouraged by the progress Cypriot leaders have made in recent months. We encourage the parties to reach a settlement as soon as possible to reunify the island as a bi-zonal, bi-communal federation, which would benefit all Cypriots as well as the wider region.
