Papandreou discusses Cyprus with Gurel and others

by Apostolis Zoupaniotis

New York, Sep 12 (CNA) -- The Cyprus problem will be at the top of the agenda at a meeting here today between Greek Foreign Minister George Papandreou and his Turkish counterpart Sukru Sina Gurel.

According to a well informed Greek foreign ministry source, Papandreou will point out to Gurel that in spite of the fluid situation in Turkey, there can be positive moves in the question of Cyprus towards a settlement.

Papandreou will call on Gurel to persuade Turkish Cypriot leader Rauf Denktash to change its attitude at the UN-led Cyprus peace talks, that have so far stumbled on his insistence on the creation of two separate states on the island.
