Pence and Tsipras express regret that talks failed

US Vice President Mike Pence (CNA)

The US Vice President Mike Pence and the Prime Minister of Greece Alexis Tsipras in a telephone conversation they had on Monday, expressed regret that the Conference on Cyprus concluded last week without a settlement agreement.

According to a written statement of the White House spokesman, the Vice President underscored continued U.S. support for a comprehensive settlement to reunify the island as a bi-zonal, bi-communal federation.

In addition, the spokesman noted that Pence and Tsipras reaffirmed the enduring ties between Greece and the United States. The Vice President congratulated the Prime Minister on Greece’s progress toward recovering from the economic crisis and thanked him for Greece’s role as a pillar of stability in the region, its NATO contributions, and its military cooperation with the United States.

Finally, he said that the Vice President extended to Tsipras an invitation to visit Washington, and the leaders agreed to meet in the near future.

    Now Tsipras and Pence can both go back to sleep.
    No need to worry about Erdogans demands and intrancegence on Cyprus as long as it doesn’t directly affect them…..for now.
    Soon Tsipras will be talking to Pence about Erdogans moves on Greek soverignty, because EU members simply dont care. Thier hypocracy is astonishing. They just congratulate themselfs in the meaningless EU parliament.
    False solidarity, False unity, False respect, “False EU in total”.
    EU will surrender to Erdogans demands very soon, America has.

      Hence why the British voted to leave the EU. It’s worthless.

        YES….Absolutly GW, the EU in my opinion is 100% worthless, useles and a hinderance to the UK and to Cyprus.
        The Cypriot government has a very misguided perception being an EU member.
        Loyalty And solidarity does not exist amongst member States especially ex soviet block members.
        I would vote “leave again” if there was to be another vote in the UK.
        Recent truths and behaviour from the EU shows they only want UK tax payers money returning and scraps for our UK.
