    [01] President - British High Commissioner

    Nicosia, Jan 25 (CNA) -- British High Commissioner in Nicosia Edward Clay has stressed London remains committed to a process the UN instigated in 1999 with the start of proximity talks between the Greek and Turkish Cypriot sides and believes this is the way forward leading to a settlement of the Cyprus question.

    Speaking after a meeting here today with President Glafcos Clerides, Clay said Britain will continue to support UN Secretary General in his effort to carry the process forward and build on ideas Kofi Annan has presented the two sides.

    [02] Spokesman - EU Commissioner

    Nicosia, Jan 25 (CNA) -- The Cyprus government has welcomed statements by top European Union Commissioner responsible for enlargement that Cyprus will become an EU member irrespective of a political settlement.

    "The statements send a crystal clear message to many recipients, they clarify fully the political parameters of our accession course and point to those elements which render the EU a catalyst for the effort to solve the Cyprus question," Government Spokesman Michalis Papapetrou said here today.

    Athens, Jan 25 (CNA) -- Reaching a comprehensive settlement of the Cyprus problem is an ambitious goal, but one that is feasible, UN Secretary General's Special Adviser for Cyprus Alvaro de Soto said today, pointing out however, that this is a long term goal that cannot be reached overnight.
