British MEP - Cyprus - Press conference
Nicosia, Jun 28 (CNA) - British Member of the European Parliament (MEP),
Theresa Villiers, said here today that there was good news and bad news on
the Cyprus problem, and noted the intransigence of Turkish Cypriot leader,
Rauf Denktash.
Speaking at a press conference, after the conclusion of her visit to the
island, at the invitation of the island's ruling rightwing Democratic Rally,
Conservative Party Villiers said that "good news and bad news would be the
conclusion of my trip and what I have learned", noting that "there are an
awful lot of good signs in terms of the peace process" and "we have a
framework idea of what a solution should look like, that is the bizonal
bicommunal federation".

Spokesman - Peace talks
Nicosia, Jun 28 (CNA) - Any interruption of the UN-led peace talks by the
Turkish Cypriot leader would be considered "unacceptable", especially if
this takes place with a view to allow Rauf Dentkash to celebrate the 1974
Turkish invasion of Cyprus, an event the UN has condemned, Cyprus
Government Spokesman Michalis Papapetrou stated today.
He also said the Greek Cypriot side has no more room for compromise or
concessions with regard to a solution but acknowledged that in any
negotiation, one must be ready to give and take.
