Kasoulides says elections in Turkey may complicate Cyprus question

Nicosia, July 23 (CNA) -- Cypriot Minister of Foreign Affairs Ioannis Kasoulides has said that whatever the outcome of the elections in Turkey may be, it will complicate efforts to solve the Cyprus problem, adding however that much will depend on the timetable of those elections.

He added that "Turkish Cypriot leader Rauf Denktash will take advantage of the pre-election period in Turkey to state that it is not the right time to make any 'concessions' regarding the direct talks" that were launched in January between President Glafcos Clerides and Denktash, under UN auspices, aimed at reaching a settlement of the Cyprus issue.

In an interview with London Greek Radio, Kasoulides also stressed that political developments in Turkey as well as US plans for operations in Iraq will complicate things and will minimise the possibility for the US, the EU, Great Britain and the UN to use their influence so that the window of opportunity that has opened now to solve the Cyprus problem is not closed.
