[01] BRYZA - LILLIKAS - MEETING
The recent visit of UN Under Secretary General for Political Affairs
Ibrahim Gambari has created a momentum on the Cyprus question and there
is some degree of readiness on both sides of the Green Line to think in
creative ways to try to build on the momentum, US Deputy Assistant
Secretary of State Matthew Bryza has said.
In statements after meeting with Cyprus Foreign Minister George
Lillikas, Bryza said "there is it seems some momentum toward a
comprehensive settlement, thanks to Under-Secretary General Gambaris
visit and thanks to the attitudes Ive experienced among the leaders on
both sides of the island, he noted and added that there is an urgent
need to take advantage of it, to exchange the lists on substantive
issues, to get the technical committees working and to move forward on
a comprehensive settlement.
Lillikas, replying to questions, noted that he could not say that Bryza
tried in any way to convince him on the need to promote Turkeys EU
accession course, given that our position is that we support Turkeys
European course under preconditions and I think that this position is
understood today by the US and I hope by our EU partners too.
