    [04] European Council - Cyprus question

    by Rebekah Gregoriades Nice, Dec 8 (CNA) - The Nice European Council today approved its final conclusions, with several amendments, including a reference to Cyprus, which was not in the draft conclusions.

    On Cyprus, the conclusions note that "the European Council welcomed and expressed its strong support of the efforts of the UN Secretary-General to achieve a comprehensive settlement of the Cyprus problem, consistent with UN Security Council resolutions, and for the successful conclusion of the process, which he initiated in December 1999", according to Greek Foreign Ministry sources.

    [05] President Clerides - Statement

    Larnaca, Dec 8 (CNA) - President Glafcos Clerides has said there are indications that Turkey may have turned a new page in its ties with the European Union but does not expect Ankara to respond to EU calls, as these are set out in the recently agreed partnership agreement, in the next few weeks.

    The President did not rule out the possibility of seeing the leader of the Turkish Cypriot community Rauf Denktash leave the UN-led proximity talks, if he does not manage to secure his objectives but cautioned against any premature conclusions, adding "let us wait and see."

    Clerides said Dentkash's policy with regard to the peace effort is proof that there have been no turns for the worse in the peace effort.

    He also described the convening of the European Conference in Nice Thursday as "very useful" in that candidate countries were made aware of the problems the EU is facing in view of enlargement.

    [06] Russia – Ambassador Fokine - Speech

    Nicosia, Dec 8 (CNA) – Russia believes that the Cyprus question is "a serious, long- standing international problem destabilising the situation in the Eastern Mediterranean" and continues to back a speedy settlement based on UN resolutions in the interest of both Greek and Turkish Cypriots.

    "The Cyprus issue is a major priority in our foreign policy, and here we have no ulterior or selfish motives," Ambassador Yuri Fokine, Rector of the Diplomatic Academy of the Russian Foreign Ministry and former Ambassador of Russia to Cyprus, said here today.
