[01] CHRISTOFIAS - TALAT - MEETING
Cyprus President Demetris Christofias and Turkish Cypriot leader Mehmet
Ali Talat meet on Friday with a view to undertake the final review of
discussions at bicommunal teams of experts and decide whether they will
proceed with direct fully-fledged negotiations aiming to reach a
comprehensive settlement of the Cyprus question.
The meeting, the fourth between the two leaders following the
resumption of discussions with a view to reach a comprehensive
settlement in Cyprus, will take place at the official residence of the
Special Representative of the Secretary-General and UNFICYP Chief of
Mission, Taye-Brook Zerihoun and will begin at 11 am local time (0800
GMT).
Since Christofias and Talat reached an agreement in March this year,
seven technical committees and six working groups, comprising experts
from both communities, have been meeting to discuss various aspects of
the Cyprus question, including governance, security, economy, health
and EU matters, property and territory. Their goal is to prepare the
ground for substantive negotiations between the two leaders.
Cyprus has been divided since 1974, when Turkish troops invaded and
occupied 37% of its territory
