    President Clerides - US Ambassador

    Nicosia, Aug 9 (CNA) -- US Ambassador in Nicosia Donald Bandler believes there is much preparatory work to be done between now and the resumption of the UN-led Cyprus proximity talks in early September, in New York, and has assured that the US is determined to continue working and make a success out of this process.

    Ambassador Bandler said the US effort will focus on all core issues, which are interelated, and dismissed press suggestions that Washington focuses on territory, adding that a comprehensive settlement needs to be negotiated.

    [05] Overseas Cypriots - Cyprus problem - Letters

    Nicosia, Aug 9 (CNA) - Leaders of overseas Greeks organisations have sent letters to US President Bill Clinton and the US Permanent Representative to the UN Richard Holbrooke, urging them to utilise every opportunity for a solution to the Cyprus problem, before they leave office.

    In their letters, the leaders note that Cyprus' European Union accession course is "the single most important positive development" for Cyprus since 1974, when Turkey invaded and occupied the northern third of the island, and creates "a profound new dynamic to the Cyprus problem".
