Clerides says time is not enough to find a Cyprus solution
Paphos, Feb 18 (CNA) Outgoing President of the Republic, Glafcos
Clerides said here Tuesday he did not believe a solution to the
long-standing Cyprus problem could be achieved by the end of the
month.
Speaking to reporters on his return from Brussels after attending EU
Troika meeting with acceding and candidate countries on Iraq, Clerides
said the time until 28 February, as set out in the UN Secretary
Generals plan for a comprehensive settlement, was very brief, noting
the Cyprus problem can not be solved in the three days in which Kofi
Annan will be in Cyprus.
Invited to comment on his meeting with Turkish Prime Minister, Abdullah
Gul, Clerides said that we had a brief meeting, adding we just said
that we are in Europe, and anticipate Turkey to enter, and it would be
right to speed up a solution to the Cyprus problem.
