    UN Undersecretary General for Political Affairs Ibrahim Gambari will visit Athens, Ankara and Nicosia, beginning of July, in order to sound out the situation on a possible resumption of the dialogue on Cyprus, Acting Government Spokesman Vassilis Palmas has said today.

    During his trip to Athens, Ankara and Nicosia, Gambari aims to sound out and listen carefully to all political approaches in the triangle, Palmas told reporters.

    Invited to elaborate on the issue, he said that Gambari will sound out intentions, whether there is a will for the resumption of a dialogue so that there is progress on Cyprus.

    Asked about a possible joint meeting between President Papadopoulos, UN official and Turkish Cypriot leader Mehmet Ali Talat, Palmas noted that Gambaris program has not been finalized yet.

    Palmas was also asked about the technical committees, that aim to prepare the ground for talks on the Cyprus issue.

    "If and when the Turkish Cypriot side gives its consent, we are ready to start with the technical committees as well as for everyday issues, he said.

    Palmas added ``our views are clear. They are the same views as the ones agreed upon between President Papadopoulos and UN Secretary General in Paris.

    According to diplomatic sources, Gambari outlined this view during informal consultations on Tuesday at the UN Security Council about his forthcoming visit to Ankara, Athens and Nicosia, July 2-9.

    The same sources have said that Gambari had described his mission as a fact finding mission. After his return to the UN seat, he will brief UN Secretary General Kofi Annan and the Security Council on the prospects of reviving Annan`s good offices mission and to resume negotiations on the question of Cyprus.
