[04] Spokesman - Cyprus issue - Demirel
Nicosia, Feb 15 (CNA) -- The Cyprus government believes that UN Secretary-
General's Special Adviser for Cyprus Alvaro de Soto has to see the reality
of the situation in Cyprus and get to know on site the unacceptable
division of the island.
The government does not see this visit linked to any other visits here
by representatives of foreign countries between now and the beginning of
the third round of UN-led proximity talks.
