by Myria Antoniadou Geneva, Jul 31 (CNA) - Foreign Minister, Ioannis Kasoulides, had a meeting today in Geneva with British Representative for Cyprus, Sir David Hannay, after which he said he did not see any problem in the procedure followed by the United Nations towards achieving a solution to the Cyprus problem, despite the fact that it was moving at a very slow pace.

Kasoulides said his meeting with Sir David was "very useful" and that he would brief President Clerides on their discussion, and noted that all parties involved should find out whether the Turkish Cypriot side was willing to reach a settlement, which is the aim of the Greek Cypriot side.

Meanwhile, the President of ruling right-wing Democratic Rally, Nicos Anastasiades, said that his party would not encourage President Glafcos Clerides to allow Turkish Cypriots to visit the village of Kokkina, if the status quo ante was not restored. CNA/MA/RG/MCH/2000

[06] British High Commissioner - Party leaders - Cyprus talks

Speaking after their separate meetings with Clay, Anastasiades said that the Greek Cypriot side would not sign a solution to the Cyprus problem which was outside UN resolutions or the acquis communautaire, while Christofias said that the Greek Cypriot side was demanding measures so that talks on a Cyprus settlement went into more substance.
