[01] UNSG CYPRUS PROBLEM

Replying to a question, during his monthly press conference, whether he has any suggestions or ideas for the future concerning the Cyprus issue, the Secretary General noted that ``during the last 30-year-long conflict period, I think we have seen in last several months the most encouraging developments of the situation through very frequent bilateral talks between the two leaders of the two communities``.

``The United Nations, through our Special Envoy, Mr. [Alexander] Downer, and at my level also, have been strongly supporting these negotiations between the two leaders of the two communities``, he added.

He said the two leaders have made significant progress, which we have not been able to see during the last three decades.

``Thats quite commendable. They have been meeting around 30 times now. They have completed the first round of their meetings on many important subjects, including security and property issues``, he noted.

The Secretary General expressed hope that they will be able to finish their consultations, negotiations as soon as possible.
