[01] UNFICYP LEDRAS DEMINING

Jose Luis Diaz, spokesperson for UNFICYP told CNA on Monday that we expect to start very soon with the demining team to go in and make sure there are no unexploded ammunitions.

President Demetris Christofias and Turkish Cypriot leader Mehmet Ali Talat during their first meeting last Friday at the residence of the UN Secretary General`s Special Representative in Cyprus Michael Moller, agreed Ledra Street will, as soon as technically possible, open and function in accordance with the established practices at other crossings.

Ledra Street is one of the capitals main commercial streets, in the heart of the city.

Diaz said that the demining work would be very short, a matter of one or two days.

Asked why UNFICYP has not entered the area yet, he said this was due to technical things need to be worked out but we expect that will happen soon.

To a question whether UNFICYP or the Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot side were responsible for the technical reasons, Diaz replied, I think just everybody.
