[01] PRESIDENTIAL COMMISSIONER - CYPRUS TALKS
Presidential Commissioner George Iacovou has described recent
statements on Cyprus by Turkish Prime Minister Recept Tayyip Erdogan
and his Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglou as ``arrogant and negative``.
In statements to the press, Iacovou also said that the UN-led peace
talks will continue on August 23, adding that the meetings will be
intensive and all-day.
Iacovou noted that what is important is what is being said at the
negotiating table during the talks on Cyprus, adding that ``if what is
said publicly reflects what is being discussed at the talks, then this
will certainly be subject to relevant comments.``
Speaking earlier during a memorial service for those killed in August
1964 when the Turkish air force bombed Tylliria area, in the north
west, Iacovou said that intensification of the talks, as decided in
Geneva, will have a real meaning if there is the required political
will from the Turkish side for a solution on the agreed basis and in
the framework of the United Nations relevant resolutions. He assured
that ``we will continue to be in favour of a peaceful settlement of the
Cyprus problem and that is why we call on the international community
to focus its pressures on Ankara.``
