He welcomed a statement formulated by the G8 Foreign Ministers last week, expected to be approved at the forthcoming G8 summit meeting, and said a settlement in Cyprus must provide for the establishment of a bizonal, bicommunal federation.

Invited to comment on the statement Mouradov said "I hope that it will give a push for a just and viable solution of the Cyprus problem, within the framework of the UN and the Organisation's resolutions."

He said a settlement in Cyprus "must safeguard the establishment of a bizonal, bicommunal federation" according to UN resolutions.

The G8 Foreign Ministers reiterated their support to UN efforts for a comprehensive settlement to the Cyprus problem on the basis of relevant UN Security Council resolutions and urged the UN Secretary-General to invite the two sides on the island to negotiations without preconditions.
