[02] Greece and Turkey: Disagreement on Cyprus goes on
Athens, Nov 8 (CNA) -- Greek and Turkish Foreign Ministers George
Papandreou and Ismael Cem agreed that a solution of the Cyprus problem
should be mutually accepted by both sides on the island but once again
disagreed on the basis of the settlement as Papandreou said it should be
based on UN resolutions, providing for a bizonal, bicommunal federation and
Cem reiterated the Turkish demand for a confederation.
Speaking during a joint press conference that followed the talks they held
here today Papandreou said his country supports the UN Secretary General's
good offices mission for Cyprus and a solution in accordance with UN
resolutions while Cem noted that "a settlement requires a mutually accepted
solution by the 'peoples' of Cyprus and their 'motherlands' (Greece and
Turkey)" adding that "a Cyprus confederation will lead to that."
Cem refrained from commenting the recent statements by Turkish Premier
Bulent Ecevit, who has threatened the Turkish occupied areas would be
annexed to mainland Turkey should Cyprus join the EU, but noted that "the
EU perspective will create several difficulties for everyone."|
