    Nicosia, May 23 (CNA) -- Cyprus Foreign Minister Ioannis Kasoulides stressed that the current period offers the best opportunity ever to reach a solution to the Cyprus problem, and that Turkish threats for tension in Cyprus, should the island enter the EU prior to a settlement, would not prevent Cyprus' European course.
