United Nations, Oct 4 (CNA) - The UN-led talks on Cyprus are expected to resume 20 days after Turkish Cypriot leader Rauf Denktash's open heart surgery next week.

CNA has learned that the resumption of the talks was agreed during today's meeting between the UN Secretary General's Special Adviser on Cyprus Alvaro de Soto, President of the Republic Glafcos Clerides and Denktash at the UN headquarters.

It was also agreed, the same sources said, that a statement would be issued at the end of the two-day talks and would include this development.

Speaking earlier on his way to the meeting, Denktash said he felt good, in view of the open-heart surgery he will undergo on Monday and remain in New York for eight days, Turkish sources told CNA.
