President says slim chance of talks before ''elections''

Nicosia, Sep 22 (CNA) - President of the Republic Tassos Papadopoulos said today that from his discussions with those interested or involved in the Cyprus problem, he did not get the impression that there were great chances of negotiations for a settlement beginning or concluding before the illegal ''parliamentary elections'' in the Turkish occupied areas of the Republic, scheduled for December.

Speaking at Larnaca Airport on his departure for New York, President Papadopoulos said it would be in the interests of both communities on the island if the so-called ''elections'' were won by political parties that believe in a settlement within the context of a solution plan proposed by UN Secretary General Kofi Annan.
