[02] Cyprus problem - New round of talks
by Maria Myles Nicosia, Sep 9 (CNA) -- As interested parties start
gathering in New York for next week's UN-led peace talks on Cyprus, each
with its own agenda but bearing in mind the call which takes them to the UN
seat, diplomatic sources believe that the peace process is set to continue
with discussions on various scenario on specialized topics.
The Greek and Turkish Cypriot sides return to New York for a fourth round
of proximity talks with not only different approaches but also opposing
views on issues raised at the negotiating table, which relate to the status
of the participants, political equality of the island's two communities and
the status of the two regions that would make up the federal Cyprus to
emerge from the peace process.
