Turkey’s foreign minister Abdullah Gul called on Tuesday for high level meetings no later than June this year under the auspices of the UN to start work on solving the Cyprus problem.

At the same time, he proposed an “action plan” that would involve Turkey implementing the Ankara Protocol by lifting restrictions on Cyprus ships and aircraft in return for the Republic of Cyprus government agreeing to the opening of ports and airports in northern Cyprus.

Speaking to CNN, Gul said that the plan was not a substitute for a comprehensive solution but that these steps were meant to “prove our sincerity for a solution.”

“We hope this can open the way to a comprehensive solution,” he said."
