    PACE adopts resolution on Cyprus

    by Athena Arsalidou

    Strasbourg, Jan 23 (CNA) -- The Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) adopted here yesterday a resolution on the situation in Cyprus, calling upon Cyprus President Glafcos Clerides and Turkish Cypriot leader Rauf Denktash to contribute to the search for a formula that would allow the whole population of Cyprus to benefit from the membership of the EU, declaring that a political agreement between the two sides on the future of the island is possible and desirable before the entry to the EU.

    The resolution, based on the report of Hungarian PACE rapporteur Andras Barsony, notes that the conflict in Cyprus remains one of the most sensitive and most difficult to resolve in Europe, but adds that there is increasing pressure to find a political solution to the dispute as the accession of Cyprus to the European Union draws nearer.
