[01] MILLET - CYPRUS
British High Commissioner in Nicosia Peter Millet welcomed once more
today the removal of the wall at the end of the commercial Ledra street
in Nicosia, noting that this gesture offers real prospects for progress
both in reuniting Nicosia and for the process of finding a permanent
and comprehensive solution to the Cyprus problem.
``The removal of the wall offers real prospects for progress, not only
on reuniting the centre of Nicosia but on the wider process of finding
a permanent and comprehensive solution to the Cyprus problem,`` Millet
said in his opening remarks at a Media reception in Nicosia.
The British High Commissioner called for progress in the July 8
agreement between Greek and Turkish Cypriots, noting that it could be
achieved despite the elections taking place this year in Turkey and in
2008 in Cyprus.
He noted that the technical committees and the working groups should
start work soon, adding that ``domestically, the existence of a
credible settlement process will help manage the rhetoric and the
tensions which elections invariably produce.``
``Early, real, measurable progress will also convince the international
community that it is worth devoting time, effort and money to the
reunification of this island,`` he added.
