[01] HOUSE PRESIDENT - PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY PRESIDENTThe Cyprus problem and the Middle East issue were the focus of a meeting here Thursday between the President of the House of Representatives Marios Garoyian and the President of the Palestinian Authority and Chairman of the PLO Executive Committee, Mahmoud Abbas, who concluded today an official visit to Cyprus.Speaking to the press, Garoyian described the meeting as very useful, cordial and essential during which he briefed Abbas on the current situation in the ongoing direct negotiations taking place on the island, to help reach a viable and functional solution to the Cyprus problem. Garoyian explained to Abbas that the dialogue carried out between the islands two communities faces problems due to Turkish intransigence. He stressed the persistence of the Greek Cypriot side to achieve a functional and viable solution which will be based on UN resolutions, the principles and values of the European Union as well as on the High Level Agreements, clinched in the 1970s between the two communities which provide for a bizonal bicommunal federation.
