[03] President Clerides - Health (2)
Nicosia, May 16 (CNA) -- Doctors, who have operated on President Clafcos
Clerides earlier this month, have described the medical treatment he has
received "a success of the Cypriot doctors" and said they were very pleased
the President had opted for local medical care.
Doctors gave the President the all-clear for a trip abroad after the second
half of June, in view of expected UN plans to invite the Greek and Turkish
Cypriot sides back to either Geneva or New York for a third round of peace
talks.
