[01] CYPRUS HOUSE PRESIDENT - BRUSSELS
The Cyprus question was at the epicentre of meetings Cypriot House of
Representatives President and left-wing party AKEL General Secretary
Demetris Christofias held in Brussels Tuesday with European Parliament
officials.
Christofias had separate meetings with the Chairman of the Confederal
Group of the European United Left - Nordic Green Left in the European
Parliament Francis Wurtz, the leader of the Alliance of Liberals and
Democrats for Europe in the European Parliament Graham Watson, the
President of the EU-Turkey Joint Parliamentary Committee Joost
Langendijk, the member of the Group of the Greens/European Free
Alliance in the European Parliament Ozdemir Cem, while late in the
afternoon he met with President of the European Parliament Josep
Borrell.
Borrell asked to be briefed on the latest developments in the Cyprus
question and Christofias briefed him on the results on the meeting in
Paris on 28 February 2006 between UN Secretary General Kofi Annan and
Cypriot President Tassos Papadopoulos
Christofias noted that ``some people do not brief Borrell right,``
saying that Borrell had the impression that the meeting in Paris did
not have a positive outcome.
He also pointed out the importance of discussion at technical
committees, noting that ``this can open new prospects for a regenerated
initiative of the UN Secretary General at a high level.``
Christofias noted that the President of the European Parliament
listened with understanding the positions he conveyed to him, adding
that Borrell might visit Cyprus during the summer holidays, accepting
an invitation he extended to him.
