Papadopoulos returns from Hague dissapointed but determined

Larnaca, Mar 11 (CNA) -- Cyprus President Tassos Papadopoulos expressed here tonight disappointment over the collapse of the UN effort in The Hague earlier today to reach a Cyprus settlement and blamed the Turkish side for the failure of the peace process.

He stressed, however, that the Greek Cypriot side would remain in constant touch with the United Nations and UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan, and announced that the Cyprus government would launch an international campaign to inform world public opinion and decision-making centres on the positions of the Greek Cypriot side and who is to blame for the collapse of the talks.

Papadopoulos pledged to continue efforts for a Cyprus settlement that would properly serve the interests of both Cyprus communities, the Greek Cypriots and the Turkish Cypriots, underlining that there ''are no last chances'' for a Cyprus solution.
