[01] Cyprus president notes ''Turkey's intransigence'' as problem barring solution

Cyprus President Tassos Papadopoulos on Sunday stressed that ''Turkey's intransigence and the constricted time limits, do not create the preconditions for the resolution of the Cyprus problem, before the accession of the Republic of Cyprus to the European Union on May 1st, 2004''.

In an interview to the Sunday edition of the ''Kathimerini'' Athens daily newspaper, Papadopoulos, who begins an official visit to Athens on Tuesday, underlined that the terms of UN Secretary General Kofi Annan's plan for the resolution of the Cyprus issue in essence enforce that an agreement should be found by March 1st.

He also said that in addition to the limited time left, Turkish Premier Recep Erdogan's positions on the Cyprus problem became identical to those of the military establishment of his country, ''maybe so that he can gain their cooperation on other issues''.
