[02] G8 - Cyprus problem - Statement
Nicosia, Jul 22 (CNA) - The Group of Eight (G8), comprising the seven
industrialised countries and Russia, in a statement on regional issues
issued during their annual meeting taking place in Japan call upon the
parties in Cyprus "to take the historic opportunity that now exists to
intensify the negotiations in an effort to strike the compromises needed to
reach a just and lasting settlement that protects the fundamental interests
of both parties in an undivided Cyprus giving full consideration to
relevant Security Council resolutions."
Expressing the hope that decisive progress will be made in the current
round of proximity talks on the Cyprus problem and in the months ahead, the
G8 also note that "the failure of the two parties to resolve their
differences and end the division of Cyprus remains a matter of serious
concern" to them.
