Cyprus government to convey comments on UNFICYP report

Nicosia, Jun 4 (CNA) - The Cyprus government will convey its comments and views to the United Nations, regarding the content of the UN Secretary General's report on the UN Peacekeeping Force in Cyprus (UNFICYP).

Government Spokesman Michalis Papapetrou said today that in his "descriptive" report, UN chief Kofi Annan tries not to create problems in the process of direct talks between President Glafcos Clerides and Turkish Cypriot leader Rauf Denktash, launched in mid-January with a view to find a comprehensive solution to the Cyprus problem.

Papapetrou spoke of "serious omissions" in the report, such as the absence of any reference of the government's proposal to clear mines in the buffer zone.

"The report is basically descriptive, it has a general and vague character, and there is an apparent effort not to stir anything or create any problem", Papapetrou said.
