Greek Cypriot side accepts UN invitation for Paris meeting

Nicosia, Jul 31 (CNA) -- The Greek Cypriot side interprets the UN Secretary General's invitation to President Glafcos Clerides and Turkish Cypriot leader Rauf Denktash for a meeting in Paris on September 6 as "a reflection of the anguish of the UN and the Secretary General, not only for the lack of progress in the talks but also for the snagging in the process".

Announcing the President's positive response to Kofi Annan's invitation, which was handed over this morning by UN chief's Special Adviser on Cyprus Alvaro de Soto, Government Spokesman Michalis Papapetrou said there was no indication that Annan would be presenting a specific solution plan in Paris.
