    [02] Greece and Turkey: Disagreement on Cyprus goes on

    Athens, Nov 8 (CNA) -- Greek and Turkish Foreign Ministers George Papandreou and Ismael Cem agreed that a solution of the Cyprus problem should be mutually accepted by both sides on the island but once again disagreed on the basis of the settlement as Papandreou said it should be based on UN resolutions, providing for a bizonal, bicommunal federation and Cem reiterated the Turkish demand for a confederation.

    Speaking during a joint press conference that followed the talks they held here today Papandreou said his country supports the UN Secretary General's good offices mission for Cyprus and a solution in accordance with UN resolutions while Cem noted that "a settlement requires a mutually accepted solution by the 'peoples' of Cyprus and their 'motherlands' (Greece and Turkey)" adding that "a Cyprus confederation will lead to that."

    Cem refrained from commenting the recent statements by Turkish Premier Bulent Ecevit, who has threatened the Turkish occupied areas would be annexed to mainland Turkey should Cyprus join the EU, but noted that "the EU perspective will create several difficulties for everyone."| CNA/KI/MK/AAR/2001
