[01] REPRESENTATIVES - PAPADOPOULOS - TALAT MEETING
A meeting of the Coordinating Committee consisting of the
Representative of the United Nations Secretary General as well as the
representatives of the leaders of the two communities, Tasos Tzionis
and Rashit Pertev, is scheduled to take place on August 21.
According to an official press release, the purpose of the meeting is
to define the time when the leaders of the two communities will meet,
following the invitation which President of the Republic Tassos
Papadopoulos extended to Turkish Cypriot leader Mehmet Ali Talat on 5
July 2007, with the aim of implementing the 8 July 2006 Agreement.
President Papadopoulos and Talat agreed on 8 July 2006, during a
meeting in Nicosia in the presence of the then UN Undersecretary
General Affairs, Ibrahim Gambari, to begin a process of bicommunal
discussions on issues that affect the day-to-day life of the people and
concurrently those that concern substantive issues, both contributing
to a comprehensive settlement of the Cyprus problem.
Cyprus, an EU member state since 2004, is divided since 1974 when
Turkish troops invaded and occupied 37% of its territory.
