    [08] President Clerides - UN chief - Letter - Sources

    by Maria Myles New York, Sep 13 (CNA) - President Glafcos Clerides seems to be expecting clarifications on a statement made by UN Secretary General Kofi Annan yesterday, regarding the proximity talks on the Cyprus problem, according to well-informed sources.
