    by Apostolis Zoupaniotis

    New York, Apr 12 (CNA) -- Cyprus House of Representatives President Demetris Christofias has called on the international community to press upon Turkey that it is in its interest and that of the Turkish Cypriots to find a peaceful settlement in Cyprus on the basis of UN resolutions.

    Government denies it has proposed a three-zone solution

    Nicosia, Apr 12 (CNA) -- The Cyprus government had dismissed as totally unsubstantiated information in a US Congress report that the Greek Cypriot side has put forward to the negotiating table a proposal to set up a three-zone state in Cyprus.

    "The government wishes to deny these reports categorically," Government Spokesman Michalis Papapetrou has said in a written statement.

    Last night a local TV network quoted a US report, dated 19 March 2002, by Carol Migdalovitz of the Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade Division, that claimed that the Greek Cypriot side "reportedly propose that they control 52 per cent of the land, give 24 to the Turkish Cypriots and 24 to a central authority with special status over Morphou, Karpass, and two other regions, where Greek Cypriot refugees could resettle."

    by Costas Iordanides

    Athens, Apr 12 (CNA) - British Special Representative for Cyprus, Lord David Hannay, has said the European Council's decision for Cyprus to join the EU, expected in December, will neither be an easy one nor will it be lightly taken.

    "As far as we are concerned, we are bound by the obligations of the Helsinki European Council" he said, adding that "a decision will have to be taken in the light of all the factors at the time when the decision comes to be taken, which we expect to be in December of this year".
