[02] US Secretary of State - Cyprus problem
Washington, May 4 (CNA) – US Secretary of State Colin Powell has put the
blame for the present impasse in the UN-led Cyprus peace effort on the
intransigent position taken by Turkish Cypriot leader Rauf Denktash.
Powell also reiterated US support to the UN effort for a settlement in
Cyprus, divided since Turkish troops invaded and occupied 37 percent of its
territory in 1974, replying to a question during a hearing in a Senate
committee on the 2002 State Department Appropriations.
