[02] FM says Greece will play a leading role at Copenhagen summit10/11/2002 16:58:31Foreign Minister George Papandreou, speaking at a dinner given in his honour by the Federation of Exporters of Northern Greece in Thessaloniki, northern Greece, on Saturday night, said Greece will play a leading role both at the European Union's Copenhagen summit and during its EU presidency, in the first half of 2003, to facilitate the shaping of the most positive climate of cooperation possible with Turkey to enable it to begin accession negotiations when it will be in a position to fulfil its commitments towards the EU absolutely. Referring to statements by the winner of Turkey's recent elections, Justice and Development Party leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan, on his country's European prospects and his visit to Greece, Papandreou said it is important that Erdogan appears to be devoted to European democratic prunciples. On the question of the upcoming tabling of a plan by UN Secretary General Kofi Annan to resolve the longstanding Cyprus problem, Papandreou said ''the effort will focus on reaching a positive result for both sides. Both sides should benefit because, otherwise, there can be no solution. Both the Greek Cypriots and the Turkish Cypriots should feel proud of the solution to be found.''
