Clerides: Clarifications and modifications of some issues required

Larnaca, Nov 17 (CNA) Cyprus President Glafcos Clerides said there is complete accord with the Greek government that the Greek Cypriot side will ask for clarifications on some issues in the plan submitted by the UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan last week, and to negotiate the modification of other.

Speaking on his return from Athens where he conferred with Greek Prime Minister Costas Simitis and the political leadership there, Clerides said they carried out an in-depth analysis of the plan. He also briefed Greek political party leaders and exchanged views. Tomorrow he will inform the National Council on the results of his deliberations.

The president also said he informed the UN he does not agree with the provision in the Annan plan, which says the leaders of the two sides shall become Co-Presidents of Cyprus, during the three year transitional period.
