Washington, Feb 11 (CNA) -- The UN have asked the US to intervene in the direction of Turkey and Greece with a view at making headway in the latest effort of the Secretary General to find a negotiated settlement before Cyprus joins the European Union on May 1, according to a State Department official.

The US, the official said, continues to urge all sides to do everything possible to support the good offices mission of the Secretary General to settle the question of Cyprus and achieve the accession of a united Cyprus to the EU.

The official said that Secretary of State Colin Powell is active in the direction of all parties involved in the promotion of a Cyprus settlement.
