    Britain urges all Cyprus sides to meet Annan's requirements

    by Kyriakos Tsioupras

    London, Jan 23 (CNA) -- The British government is urging all sides to meet the UN Secretary General's requirements for a resumption of negotiations for a Cyprus settlement, British Minister for Europe Dennis MacShane has said, adding that the prospects of a divided Cyprus, even within the EU, are far less certain, and almost certainly worse, than the prospects of a reunited Cyprus.

    Addressing a gathering last night in London of the National Federation of Cyprus in the UK, MacShane noted that there are ''signs from Ankara that Turkey too realises that the clock is ticking loudly now'', adding that ''if Attarurk could switch the Ottoman Arab alphabet to European letters in one month, it should not be impossible for the Turkish government, army and parliament to move forward to a Cyprus settlement between now and May 1st.''

    Nicosia, Jan 23 (CNA) -- Now is the time for action on Cyprus, pledged European Enlargement Commissioner, Gunter Verheugen, noting the status quo in Cyprus will damage everyone whereas a solution would be a clear win-win situation for Cyprus, Greece, Turkey and Europe as a whole.

    In an article written by Verheugen and published in the ''Financial Times'', entitled A final chance to bridge the Cyprus divide'', he said he is convinced there is a window of opportunity to reach a solution before enlargement, noting the signs are promising.
