    Nicosia, Oct 16 (CNA) -- The Cyprus government considers that the result of last night's extraordinary summit of European leaders at Tampere, Finland, on Turkey gives Greece more chances to successfully secure the policies which would pave the way to a Cyprus settlement.

    Speaking to CNA, Government Spokesman Michalis Papapetrou said it is "evident from the statements of various European leaders after the Tampere meeting that the Cyprus problem is at the centre of the concerns of the European Union in regard with Turkey's possible candidature."
