[01] PRESIDENT PAPADOPOULOS - CYPRUS QUESTIONCyprus President Tassos Papadopoulos said Saturday that he did not think that the appointment of a new UN Under-Secretary-General for Political Affairs would make a new step for the Cyprus issue more difficult, adding that the July 8 agreement provides clearly the way forward.Papadopoulos statement came one day after American Lynn Pascoe was appointed Under-Secretary-General for Political Affairs, succeeding Ibrahim Gambari, who was present at a meeting here on July 8th 2006, during which President Papadopoulos and Turkish Cypriot leader Mehmet Ali Talat agreed to begin a process of bicommunal discussions on issues that affect the day-to-day life of the people and concurrently those that concern substantive issues, both contributing to a comprehensive settlement to the Cyprus problem. Papadopoulos recalled the July 8 agreement, which as he said, explicitly determines how meetings will take place, when meetings between the leaders shall take place and what the preconditions to have such meetings are. He added that one of the basic provisions of Gambaris letter to the two leaders is that the discussion of core issues will lead to a new basis for a comprehensive settlement of the Cyprus question.
