Kasoulides: Four messages conveyed by Annan

Paphos, May 18 (CNA) - Cyprus Foreign Minister Ioannis Kasoulides has said the UN Secretary General Kofi Annan conveyed during his recent visit to Cyprus four messages to the leaders of the two sides, engaged in UN-led direct talks since mid January this year, with a view to negotiate until a settlement is reached.

According to Kasoulides the messages conveyed are the need to speed up the ongoing talks, to insist on the time-frame of June, to abandon unproductive discussions and focus on the fundamental principles and to take advantage of the UN Secretary General's Special Adviser on Cyprus Alvaro De Soto's presence to the talks.
