Cyprus President: UN plan served foreign interests, was not balanced

Nicosia, Apr 10 (CNA) -- Cyprus President Tassos Papadopoulos has told Greek and Turkish Cypriot young people that he is seeking a political settlement that would stand the test of time and serve the interests of the island's two communities.

In an open dialogue with young people from both communities, he stressed that a UN-proposed solution plan (the Annan plan) was not ''uniquely balanced'', as some had claimed, and served the interests of Turkey and Britain.

''I do not believe that the Annan plan could work or be viable. We want a solution that can last and serve the two communities,'' he said, pointing out that ''unfortunately the primary objective of certain provisions of the plan was to serve foreign interests, Turkey's and Britain's.''
