Interior Minister Constantinos Ioannou said that the Greek Cypriot side will participate in an informal meeting, on October 15, in New York with "cautious optimism" regarding the prospect of restarting negotiations. He emphasized, however, that they do not harbor "excessive expectations."  The Minister made these remarks on Sunday while honoring EOKA heroes Charalambos Pettemeridis and Andreas Patsalidis at a memorial service in Kannavia community.
