    De Soto appeals to leaders to seize opportunity

    Nicosia, Jan 13 (CNA) - The UN Secretary General's Special Adviser on Cyprus, Alvaro de Soto, said this was the decisive period for Cyprus and appealed to the leaders of the Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot communities, Glafcos Clerides and Rauf Denktash, to seize the opportunity.

    He also sent a message that ''a great and historic responsibility rests on the shoulders of the Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots, and on their leaders'', called on them to ''focus on the task at hand'' and stressed that the choice before them and the people was not between the revised plan submitted by the UN Secretary General and a substantially different one, but that ''the choice is between this plan, perhaps with balanced refinements here and there as needed, and no agreement at all''.

    He wondered whether a reunited Cyprus would become ''a beacon of cooperation between Greece and Turkey in the Eastern Mediterranean maintaining the balance between them and strengthening Turkey's move towards European Union membership, or will a divided Cyprus continue to strain relations between Greece and Turkey and vis-a-vis Europe''.

    Noting he ''would describe this as the decisive period'', de Soto said he was very pleased that ''the possibility remains opens because of the willingness of both sides to continue to negotiate on the basis of the Secretary General's plan''.

    Commenting on statements made by Annan's Special Adviser on Cyprus Alvaro de Soto, Papapetrou said the Peruvian Diplomat conveyed the message that ''the next six weeks would be crucial for the solution of the Cyprus problem''.
