[01] UN - CYPRUS PROBLEM
The UN Secretary General`s Special Representative in Cyprus Michael
Moller is currently at UN headquarters in New York for consultations.
Moller is expected to brief UN Undersecretary General for Political
Affairs Lynn Pascoe on the results of his talks in Cyprus and to
discuss ways of breaking the current deadlock, which appears impossible
in the light of the pre-election climate in Turkey.
Pascoe had the opportunity to receive a first hand briefing on the
views of Rasit Pertev, representative the Turkish Cypriot leader,
during a meeting last week in New York. Pertev appeared especially
intransigent, raising the issue of lifting the so called isolation of
the Turkish Cypriots.
Despite the negative stance of the Turkish side and its clear
withdrawal from the principles of the July 8 agreement, the stance of
UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon and his close associates is not
clear.
A well informed UN diplomatic source said that the dominant view at UN
headquarters is that the two sides in Cyprus are not showing
flexibility, they are rigid and are firing accusations at one another.
