Lets leave that to the leaders. Obviously this is an ongoing issue and I think for a lot of people has become an important issue so there are ongoing discussions about it,`` Downer said in statements after a meeting with Cyprus President Demetris Christofias.

Replying to a question that the Turkish Cypriot side seems optimistic that the details will be agreed by the next meeting of President Christofias and Turkish Cypriot leader Mehmet Ali Talat on June 26, Downer he does not want to comment on expectations.

Replying to a question whether the issue is a matter of details, the Australian diplomat said ``it is always been a matter of details but there are a lot of details and there are talks about all these matters.``
