[01] CYPRUS TALKS - MEETINGPresident of the Republic of Cyprus Demetris Christofias and Turkish Cypriot leader Mehmet Ali Talat will meet here Wednesday at 1500 local time (1200 GMT) to continue their discussion on governance.Today, the two leaders are also expected to resume the debate on external relations. The leaders meet in the framework of the second round of UN-led negotiations to solve the Cyprus problem. In their previous meeting last Thursday President Christofias and Mehmet Ali Talat continued their discussions on the executive, and as Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General in Cyprus Taye-Brook Zerihoun said, they had a constructive discussion on each others proposals that they have exchanged. Christofias and Talat have been engaged in direct negotiations since September 2008 with a view to solve the problem of Cyprus, divided since 1974, when Turkish troops invaded and occupied 37% of its territory. [02] PRESIDENT CHRISTOFIAS - TURKEY - EUPresident of the Republic of Cyprus Demetris Christofias said on Tuesday that Turkey has the standing demand to lift the so-called isolation of the Turkish Cypriots, which has nothing to do with Turkey`s accession to the EU or the Union`s decisions.Replying to questions regarding statements by Turkish President Abdullah Gul, President Christofias said ``the Cyprus problem should be solved the soonest possible and Turkey has a duty to support the right solution and not a partnership of two sovereign states, two republics.`` Cyprus News Agency: News in English Directory - Previous Article - Next Article |
