[03] President Clerides - Cairo - Statements
Nicosia, Apr 21 (CNA) – President of the Republic Glafcos Clerides
questioned whether Turkey wants peace in Cyprus and said that if this is
the case then why does the Turkish side not return to the UN-led proximity
talks that aim at reaching an overall settlement on the island. He also
expressed the view that Ankara's stance will have consequences on its
European Union accession course.
President Clerides was speaking at a press conference in Cairo yesterday
after wrapping up his private visit to Egypt with a meeting with the
country's Prime Minister Atef Ebeid, during which they discussed the
further development of cooperation between the two countries and Cyprus'
role as a bridge connecting Europe to this region, according to an official
press release issued today.
