[05] President Clerides - Cyprus problem - EU

The President said the Cyprus question should be handled in a very "careful and responsible" manner to avoid giving the impression that the Greek Cypriot side shares some responsibility for the lack of progress towards a solution.

In an interview with the London Greek Radio (LGR) he said the US does not appear willing to place the question of Cyprus on a higher level in their list of priorities and that Britain wishes to see a settlement in line with the parameters of UN resolutions and have its interests safeguarded.

On Greco-Turkish relations, the Cypriot President said these depend on developments in Cyprus and on Turkish demands to NATO and the EU with regard to the European Security and Defence Policy, he noted Ankara's desire to play a pivotal role in the Alliance, a role it does not wish to see being reduced.

"I believe that Turkey will prolong the stalemate and will return to talks when it realises Cyprus is at the point of joining the EU and it will display a shift in its intransigent positions to claim a postponement of accession," the President told teh London-based Greek Radio.
