Cyprus President: A new round of Cyprus talks must be very well prepared

Nicosia, Apr 15 (CNA) -- Cyprus President Tassos Papadopoulos has said that a new round of Cyprus talks must be very well prepared, adding that for quite a long time now the Greek Cypriot side has been working on this issue.

In a televised press conference tonight after two years in government, Papadopoulos said he could not determine when it would be agreed that a dialogue had been prepared in a satisfactory way to give hope that it would bring about a good solution.

Papadopoulos underlined that the Cyprus government pursues a viable and lasting solution and not just to ''close'' the Cyprus problem, adding that ''we want the beginning of a dialogue the soonest possible.''

He noted that countries other than the US and Britain, which have strong relations with Turkey, were also interested to promote a new effort for a Cyprus settlement, for quite a long time now.

Papadopoulos said one can not rule out that the Greek Cypriot side's "areas of concern" would be given to the UN Secretary General once the conditions for the resumption of substantive negotiations were created, adding that this could facilitate the whole process.

The Cypriot President underlined that the solution must be compatible with the EU Constitution, to be ratified by all EU member states, and the EU acquis communautaire.

Asked about Turkey's bid to join the EU, Papadopoulos noted the reactions that a rejection of Turkey by the EU, due to a Cyprus veto, would cause, adding that ''the Turkish army and the occupation is here.''

Asked if Cyprus will put "small vetoes" to Turkey's EU bid if Ankara does not fulfil its obligations regarding the solution of the Cyprus problem, Papadopoulos said that he would never say such a phrase in public because this will provoke reactions without any benefit.
