[01] LEADERS MEETING
The leaders of the two communities in Cyprus, Cypriot President
Demetris Christofias and Turkish Cypriot leader Mehmet Ali Talat, will
hold today their 16th meeting in the framework of the UN-led direct
negotiations, which began last September with a view to reach a
solution of the Cyprus problem.
During the meeting, which will take place at the UN protected area of
the old now defunct Nicosia airport, the two leaders are expected to
conclude discussions on governance and power sharing.
Their last meeting took place Monday, 12th of January.
In statements after Mondays meeting, UN Secretary Generals Special
Advisor for Cyprus, Alexander Downer said that the two leaders
discussed relations between the federal government and the constituent
states. They also talked about deadlock resolving mechanisms.
He added that these discussions would continue during the next meeting
(today), adding that after the leaders conclude their discussions on
governance and power sharing, they will begin, at a meeting to be
announced today, discussions on property.
President Christofias and Talat have been engaged in direct
negotiations since early September last year, aiming at reunifying the
island, divided since the Turkish invasion of 1974.
