[01] UN envoy for Cyprus cites constructive discussion with FM Kotzias
Greek Foreign Minister Nikos Kotzias on Tuesday received UN Secretary
General's Special Adviser on Cyprus, Espen Barth Eide at the foreign
ministry, for a discussion that Eide later described as constructive.
Leaving the meeting, which had focused on the latest developments in
talks to solve the Cyprus problem, Eide expressed satisfaction with
the significant progress made on a number of issues, though there were
still outstanding issues that remained to be settled. Some of these had
international repercussions, he added, including the chapter of security
and guarantees and how the two communities on Cyprus can live together
in such as way that the security of one does not create insecurity for
the other.
Eide said he saw real will to find a functional solution on both sides,
adding that there were ideas "outside the box" on how to create a viable
federal bizonal and bicommunal state, in accordance with European values
and practices for the prosperity and progress of all on Cyprus.
