[05] Government Spokesman - Proximity talks
Nicosia, Mar 17 (CNA) -- Cyprus Government Spokesman Michalis
Papapetrou said today the third round of UN- led proximity talks
scheduled to begin in New York on May 23 will be "particularly
significant" because it will reveal what the future of the new process
aiming at a Cyprus settlement will be.
Papapetrou called upon all those who wish for a successful outcome of the
current process to "take the necessary action" between now and May 23 in
order to avoid a deadlock and pointed out that the government is not
prepared to take part in a process which would be of no purpose.
