    Cyprus President: new prospects for solution will arise

    Nicosia, May 13 (CNA) -- Cyprus President Tassos Papadopoulos believes that new prospects and new possibilities will emerge that will help find a political settlement, adding that European principles could help formulate the appropriate conditions for a solution that would address the legitimate concerns of Greek and Turkish Cypriots.

    Papadopoulos assured Turkish Cypriots of his firm adherence to a functional solution of a bizonal bicommunal federation that would allow Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots live in peace and freedom, security, progress and prosperity.

    In his address at the opening of the 29th International Fair, he said this year's Fair opened its gates days after Cyprus joined the European Union, something he described as ''a historic challenge'' which marks the beginning of a new era with great prospects and possibilities as well as problems and difficulties.
