[01] UN envoy - Cyprus peace talks - Press conference (Full story)
by Maria Myles Geneva, Nov 1 (CNA) - The UN intends to persist patiently
with the method of constructive engagement on the core issues of the Cyprus
question through the presentation of ideas and by inviting comments by the
Greek and Turkish Cypriot parties in order to take advantage of what it
describes as an "historic opportunity" for a fair and viable comprehensive
settlement in Cyprus, UN Secretary General's Special Adviser on Cyprus
Alvaro de Soto said here today.
Speaking just before the fifth round of proximity talks begins later this
afternoon in Geneva, de Soto cautioned against great expectations for
"spectacular results" in the near future, pointing out that the two sides
"are very far apart on some key issues".

[04] British Foreign Secretary - Athens
Athens, Nov 1 (CNA) - British Foreign Secretary Robin Cook expressed today
the hope that the new round of UN-led talks on Cyprus, taking place in
Geneva, would lead to "real negotiations" and reiterated his country's
determination to work hard in this direction.
Talking to the press after an hour-long meeting in Athens with his Greek
counterpart George Papandreou, Cook also pointed to Cyprus' progress in the
process of harmonisation with the acquis communautaire and repeated that,
according to the Helsinki conclusions, a solution to the island's political
problem is not a precondition for accession to the European Union.

[06] Rauf Denktash - Alvaro de Soto
by Maria Myles Geneva, Nov 1 (CNA) - Turkish Cypriot leader Rauf Denktash
was highly critical today both of the UN Secretary-General's Special
Adviser on Cyprus Alvaro de Soto and President of the Republic Glafcos
Clerides on their stance regarding Europe's role in efforts for a Cyprus
settlement.
Arriving for his first meeting with de Soto during this fifth round of
proximity talks on the Cyprus problem, Denktash reiterated his position
that Cyprus' course of accession to the European Union (EU) will keep the
two communities on the island apart and claimed that Turkish Cypriots will
not live with Greek Cypriots again.
