    [07] President Clerides - New Nigerian ambassador

    Nicosia, Mar 27 (CNA) – President Glafcos Clerides expressed "firm belief" that the international community should give no promises to Turkish Cypriot leader Rauf Denktash so as "to appease him in order to return to the negotiating table", underlining that "his (Denktash's) return to the negotiating table alone is not enough".

    "The Turkish side should demonstrate its will to negotiate for the resolution of the Cyprus problem, with actual deeds and not simply making statements to this end but not following them up," he said, receiving the credentials of the new Nigerian ambassador to Cyprus George Obiozor.
