Cypriot Foreign Minister Ioannis Kasoulides and Greek Foreign Minister Evangelos Venizelos also participated in the discussions. Samaras stated after the discussions: "Talks will continue but will only lead to a settlement if the other side displays genuine political will," as reported by Kathimerini.
