Nicosia, Oct 15 (CNA) -- President Glafcos Clerides said today that the Cyprus problem remains unresolved due to the Turkish intransigence and outright disrespect of relevant UN resolutions and expressed hope that the international community will exert all its influence on the Turkish side to come to the negotiating table with goodwill so as to pave the way for a peaceful solution to the Cyprus problem.

Receiving the credentials of Bulgaria's new Ambassador to Cyprus Krassimir Stefanov, President Clerides congratulated the Bulgarian official on his country's election as a non-Permanent member of the Security Council adding that Bulgaria's support to Cyprus "at this crucial time is instrumental". Presenting his credentials Stefanov referred to Cyprus' bid to join the European Union said Cyprus' progress is "impressive." CNA/AAR/RM/2001
