    [01] UN - Denktash - Peace talks

    Nicosia, Nov 25 (CNA) - The UN has expressed the hope that the leader of the Turkish Cypriot community Rauf Denktash will attend the next round of UN-led proximity talks, scheduled for late January in Geneva.

    "Mr Denktash has not been in direct contact with the UN and it would be inappropriate to comment on press reports," UN spokeswoman Sarah Russell told CNA today.

    [02] Spokesman - Denktash - Peace talks

    Nicosia, Nov 25 (CNA) - The government has called on the UN, the European Union (EU) and the international community not to give in to fresh Turkish intimidation, as this would create dangerous precedents that international law and the acquis communautaire can be subject to blackmailing tactics.

    Government Spokesman Michalis Papapetrou said threats by Turkish Cypriot leader Rauf Denktash to leave the UN-led proximity talks are targetting the UN and the EU to force them to change their stance on views they have expressed on the general principles of a Cyprus solution and on Turkey-EU partnership agreement.

    Papapetrou expressed the hope that Dentkash will not implement his threats and warned that the international community should assume all political cost if it gives in to Denktash's threats.

    He called on the Un and the EU to apportion blame on Denktash, if he carries out his threats.

    His comments come in the wake of statements by Denktash in Turkey that he has reached the decision that the UN proximity talks are nothing but a waste of time as long as his parametres are not accepted. Turkish premier Bulent Ecevit said he supports Denktash's decision not to attend the meetings.

    [03] EU rapporteur - Meetings

    Nicosia, Nov 25 (CNA) -- Euro MP Jacques Poos, rapporteur for Cyprus' accession to the European Union (EU), has called on Turkish Cypriot leader Rauf Denktash to understand that the EU is not a colonial empire but a union of democratic countries from which the Turkish Cypriots could draw great benefits.

    Poos, currently visiting the island, also said that the solution of the Cyprus problem should be in line with international law and the acquis communautaire.
