[05] President Clerides – Arrival from Paris
Larnaca, Mar 16 (CNA) – President Glafcos Clerides said tonight France
fully supports the Cyprus government's positions on the Cyprus problem and
that any objections Paris had voiced in the past in regards to Cyprus'
European prospects have been overcome.
Speaking on arrival at Larnaca airport after his four-day working visit to
Paris, Clerides also stressed the need for a change in the intransigent
stance held by Turkey and Turkish Cypriot leader Rauf Denktash in efforts
for a Cyprus settlement, pointing out that otherwise the current UN-led
process of proximity talks would end in a deadlock.
