New York, Sep 21 (CNA) - Turkish Cypriot leader Rauf Denktash has said he is engaged in negotiations on more issues than the four core ones the UN has identified for the UN-led proximity talks, which resumed here last week. The core issues relate to constitution, security, territory, and refugees-property matters.

On the issue of Strovilia, in southeast Cyprus, where the Turkish forces moved their positions forward, in violation of the status quo, Denktash was intransigent, saying the matter is settled and claimed nobody came to any harm.

Speaking after a meeting with the Lebanese delegation investigating whether the boat, which sank of the coast of Paphos on September 13, actually left from Al Uzai harbour in Lebanon on September 11, in which case the illegal immigrants would be sent back there, as provided for in a bilateral agreement, Christodoulou said the captain would be taken before the Paphos District Court on the charge of illegal entry into the Republic of Cyprus.
