Washington, Dec 21 (CNA) -- The US has not changed its policy in

Cyprus (UNFICYP) which says "that the government of Turkey has indicated
that it concurs with and supports the positions of the Turkish Cypriot
party, namely that UNFICYP can operate on both sides of the island only on
the basis of the consent of both parties".
