[01] Cyprus Foreign Minister - Visits
Nicosia, Nov 14 (CNA) -- Cyprus Foreign Minister Ioannis Kasoulides leaves
this morning for Athens to be present at a meeting midday between President
Glafcos Clerides and Greek Prime Minister Costas Simitis. The Cypriot
President arrived in Greece last Saturday.
The Cypriot and Greek leaders will discuss developments in the Cyprus
question after the fifth round of UN-led proximity talks that took place in
Geneva the first 10 days of November, aimed at reaching a settlement in
Cyprus, divided since Turkish troops invaded and occupied 37 percent of its
territory in 1974.
