The appointment of a UN Secretary-General personal envoy on the Cyprus issue is a matter of days, Government Spokesperson, Konstantinos Letymbiotis said on Thursday.

In statements to journalists at the Presidential Palace, after a meeting of the Cabinet and, asked about the issue of the appointment of a personal envoy of the UN Secretary-General on the Cyprus issue, the Spokesperson said that based on information from the UN, “the official announcement is imminent”.
