Weston: possibilities for settlement are enhanced geometrically
Larnaca, Feb 29 (CNA) -- Thomas Weston, US State Department special
coordinator for Cyprus, arrived here Sunday for a brief visit during
which he will have contacts with the Greek Cypriot and the Turkish
Cypriot sides, which started talks last week with a view at reaching a
political settlement by May 1 this year when the island joins the
European Union.
Speaking on arrival at Larnaca Airport he said the purpose of his visit
''is to do what we can to support the efforts of the Secretary General
both with the UN directly and with all the parties involved to the
negotiations to get a settlement of the Cyprus issue''.
Noting the ''possibilities of getting a settlement are enhanced
geometrically'' and there will be a finalized settlement which will be
put to the people of Cyprus, the American diplomat said the question
''becomes whether the people of Cyprus will assume their historic
responsibilities in voting 'yes' for the settlement, thereby achieving
a settlement before Cyprus enters the EU''.
