Erdogan said Saturday: "We don't believe that no-solution is the solution."
The Greek and Turkish Cypriot administrations should "get together with positive attitudes and solve all the issues and fill in their own gaps" of a settlement plan, with Annan himself completing any lingering gaps afterward.
If the Greek Cypriots "accept the secretary-general to fill in the blanks, then, as the guaranteeing country, as far as Turkey is concerned, we would also accept him to do that," Erdogan said.
If Cyprus the island is not reunited by May 1, then only the Greek Cypriots will enjoy the benefits and laws of EU membership. The Denktash administration opposed the Cypriot government's accession negotiations to the union.
