Nicosia, Jun 28 (CNA) - British Member of the European Parliament (MEP), Theresa Villiers, said here today that there was good news and bad news on the Cyprus problem, and noted the intransigence of Turkish Cypriot leader, Rauf Denktash.

Speaking at a press conference, after the conclusion of her visit to the island, at the invitation of the island's ruling rightwing Democratic Rally, Conservative Party Villiers said that "good news and bad news would be the conclusion of my trip and what I have learned", noting that "there are an awful lot of good signs in terms of the peace process" and "we have a framework idea of what a solution should look like, that is the bizonal bicommunal federation".

Nicosia, Jun 28 (CNA) - Any interruption of the UN-led peace talks by the Turkish Cypriot leader would be considered "unacceptable", especially if this takes place with a view to allow Rauf Dentkash to celebrate the 1974 Turkish invasion of Cyprus, an event the UN has condemned, Cyprus Government Spokesman Michalis Papapetrou stated today.

He also said the Greek Cypriot side has no more room for compromise or concessions with regard to a solution but acknowledged that in any negotiation, one must be ready to give and take.
