[01] BRITAIN - PAPADOPOULOS - TALAT MEETING -EXPECTATIONS
British High Commissioner in Nicosia Peter Millet said that Britain is
expecting the right results from Wednesday`s meeting between President
of the Republic of Cyprus Tassos Papadopoulos and Turkish Cypriot
leader Mehmet Ali Talat.
Speaking after a meeting with Minister of the Interior Christos
Patsalides, Millet said ``Britain and the permanent members of the
Security Council support the July 8 procedure and we want this process
to begin and we expect the right results from this meeting.``
Asked if further meetings should take place between the leaders of the
two communities, Millet said that depended on their political will.
In July last year Papadopoulos and Talat agreed on a procedure to make
headway towards substantive negotiations, through discussions at
working groups and technical committee of daily concerns as well as
issues of substance. Tomorrow`s meeting is set to press on with the
implementation of what was agreed, under UN auspices, on 8th July,
2006.
Both Patsalides and Millet said they reaffirmed the excellent relations
between Cyprus and the United Kingdom and expressed their intention to
further strengthen their ties in various sectors falling within the
interests of the Ministry of the Interior.
