    [02] Spokesman - Cyprus proximity talks

    By Maria Myles

    [03] Cyprus problem - UN non-paper

    By Maria Myles

    Geneva, Nov 9 (CNA) -- Observations by UN Secretary General Kofi Annan on the progress so far in the UN-led proximity talks on Cyprus, which started last December, put the rubber seal on what he considers to be the basis for a "fair and viable" solution of the protracted Cyprus problem and invites the Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot sides to take the negotiations further, taking into consideration his assessment.

    An 11-page non-paper refers to a "single international legal personality" of Cyprus, guarantees for human rights in "one sovereign indissoluble common state", points out that state law will overrule regional law, stresses that the solution should not raise obstacles to Cyprus' accession to the European Union and that the legal right to property should be respected.
