[02] Cyprus - Doctors - Strike
Nicosia, Jan 12 (CNA) -- Doctors serving in the public sector have been
staging since early morning a 24-hour strike to press on with their demands
for a pay rise and the creation of more senior positions in their ranks.
As the strike unfolded, the Heath Ministry in cooperation with doctors in
the private sector was making sure that no incidents or emergencies were
left unattended. Outpatients at government hospitals were referred to
private clinics or non government employed doctors for medical treatment.

[03] British envoy - Cyprus question - Press conference
Nicosia, Jan 12 (CNA) -- There is a chance of decisive progress towards a
Cyprus settlement, British envoy Sir David Hannay said here today,
stressing that it is in nobody's interest to interrupt, delay or frustrate
the UN-led process.
Hannay, speaking at a press conference, said it would not be wise to set
any deadlines or timetable to the peace talks at this stage and noted that
the Cyprus problem is not a static issue as it is affected by other
external factors.
