[02] Government Spokesman - Cyprus problem
Nicosia, Jan 17 (CNA) - Government Spokesman Michalis Papapetrou said today
it appears rather unlikely that UN-led proximity talks on the Cyprus
problem would resume around the end of the month, as scheduled, due to the
unacceptable and negative stance of Turkish Cypriot leader Rauf Denktash.
Speaking after today's cabinet meeting, Papapetrou reiterated the Greek
Cypriot side's readiness to participate in a new round of talks "in January
or whenever the UN Secretary-General says so".

[06] Belgian State Secretary for Foreign Affairs - Arrival
Larnaca, Jan 17 (CNA) - Belgian State Secretary for Foreign Affairs,
Annemie Neyts, arrived in Cyprus this evening, to discuss the island's
European Union (EU) accession course and to assess whether the Greek and
Turkish Cypriot sides have the political will to reach a negotiated
settlement to the political problem.

negotiator for Cyprus Leopold Maurer, she would be discussing with the
Cyprus government the accession process, noting that Belgium would be
assuming the EU presidency during the second half of this year.
