US Ambassador says solution not easy but within grasp

Nicosia, Jul 17 (CNA)-- US Ambassador to Cyprus Donald Bandler said here today that finding a solution to the Cyprus problem is not easy but within grasp.

Speaking here at a press conference, Bandler, who leaves the island soon, pointed out that there is still much work to be done in the process of the UN-led direct talks for Cyprus, noting that "it is doable".

The American Ambassador urged Cypriots and their leaders to work hard for a solution to the Cyprus problem and noted that "for better or worse the decisions Cypriots take leading up to the Copenhagen EU Summit in December will have an important impact on Cyprus for years to come."
