Spokesman: we resume peace talks in a spirit of give and take

Nicosia, Aug 26 (CNA) -- The Greek Cypriot side returns to the negotiating table in a spirit of give and take and with a strong desire for compromise, on the basis of decisions the international community has taken with regard to the Cyprus solution, Government Spokesman Michalis Papapetrou said here today.

Speaking only a day before the resumption of the UN-led direct talks, he said at tomorrow's meeting UN Secretary General's special adviser for Cyprus Alvaro de Soto might put forward some suggestions on how to proceed with the talks he has been conducting for the past seven months.

Papapetrou said he would welcome a new solution plan Turkish Cypriot leader Rauf Denktash might submit at Tuesday's meeting, provided it takes into serious consideration the positions that the Greek Cypriot side cannot possibly accept.

The President said he anticipates the completion of the accession negotiations to take place within the set deadline.
