[01] There is an opportunity for a Cyprus solution, senior US official
says
A high ranking US official believes that today there is a chance to
find a negotiated settlement in Cyprus and that the recently discovered
natural gas reserves in the Republic's exclusive economic zone can
contribute towards this goal.
"Today we have a real chance to capitalize on changing attitudes and
circumstances to address the forty year-old division of Cyprus", candidate
Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland has said, speaking before
the United States Senate Committee on Foreign Relations.
Replying to a question by Senator Jeanne Shaheen on Cyprus, Nuland
reiterated that there is an opportunity for a solution on the island.
