Turkish Premier sees new initiative after ''elections'' in occupied
Cyprus

Constantinople, Feb 12 (CNA) -- Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip
Erdogan believes that there will be a new initiative on Cyprus after
the so-called presidential elections in Turkish occupied Cyprus in
April, and said he wants to see the Greek and Turkish Cypriot sides
increase their contacts in order to create common ground ahead of any
new initiative.
According to reliable sources close to a meeting here today between
Erdogan and a four-member delegation from the Democratic Rally party
(DISI) from Cyprus, the premier said the non solution in Cyprus is not
a solution and pointed out that politicians are there to solve
problems, views which he has already outlined to UN Secretary General
Kofi Annan whom he has asked to undertake a new initiative on Cyprus,
as Erdogan said.
Erdogan, the same sources have said, explained to the DISI delegation
that he hopes that after the elections the Greek and Turkish Cypriot
communities will express a common willingness for a process that will
prove to be effective towards a political settlement.
