[01] PRESIDENT - NEW YORK MEETING

The meeting in New York between UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon, President Christofias and Turkish Cypriot leader Dervis Eroglu is scheduled for November 18.

Replying to questions, President Christofias said he would be facing the traps set by the Turkish foreign policy.

``I am not going there to give. I am going there so we can pave the way for a solution of the Cyprus problem, a solution that will be acceptable by both communities and be based on fundamental principles,`` he said.

[02] NEW YORK - AGENDA

UN sources told CNA that the meeting would begin with a lunch hosted by the UN chief and his associates, followed by the main meeting, to be attended by three persons from each party.

The possibility of issuing a joint statement on the meeting seems to be fading, and the UN Secretary General is expected to make a statement, in agreement with the parties.

According to diplomatic sources, the UN chief`s priority will be to hear the views of the leaders of the two communities on the continuation of the negotiating process in Cyprus for a settlement of the island`s political problem, in order to give impetus. Furthermore, Ban is expected to announce the issues on which convergences have been achieved.
