The Turkish Cypriot leader said on Tuesday that talks in Geneva on Cyprus were positive, and that he hopes to open a new page on a sustainable future for the island.

"We are faced with two options either we continue the way we are with all the repercussions, or build the future of the island together," Ersin Tatar told reporters in Geneva.

The remarks followed two days of talks hosted by United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres to discuss the future of the island, with Greek and Turkish Cypriot leaders, and representatives from Greece, Turkey and Britain.
