"According to all developments that we have seen so far on the negotiation table, I would say that there are many things that need to be changed in order to open the door for a solution in Cyprus," Government spokesman Stephanos Stephanou, a Greek Cypriot, told the London Greek Radio on Monday.
His remarks echo a recent survey, which shows that 72 percent of Greek Cypriots see no solution could be worked out in the next 12 months.
According to the poll conducted by Gnora/RAI in the government administered Greek Cypriot south, 56 percent respondents are against rotating presidency in a reunified federation, a clear rejection to any Turkish Cypriot president.
After years of stalemate and failed reunification efforts, Cyprus President and Greek Cypriot leader Christofias re-started comprehensive peace talks with Turkish Cypriot leader Mehmet Ali Talat in September 2008. The two leaders have met 38 times so far in an effort to find a mutually acceptable solution based on a federal structure.
The two sides have agreed in principle to solve the problem in a bizonal bicommunal framework, but differ on how it should work, especially on governance and power-sharing.
