[02] President - Cyprus question
Nicosia, Mar 28 (CNA) -- President Glafcos Clerides has warned against
relinquishing a federal solution in Cyprus, saying this would bring the
Greek Cypriot side before charges which the Turkish Cypriot side now has to
face.
The President also said it was necessary for Europe to clearly define its
policy on the solution of the problem, adding that the Turkish Cypriot
leader is now putting forward demands for substantive negotiatons.
He warned that such a development would put the Greek Cypriot side under
fire, like the Turkish Cypriot side which is seeking confederation instead
of federation, as provided by the UN resolutions.
