CNA/MM/2001 ENDS, CYPRUS NEWS AGENCY1510:CYPPRESS:02[02] Government Spokesman - InterviewLondon, Aug 13 (CNA) -- Cyprus Government Spokesman Michalis Papapetrou appeared rather pessimistic today about any prospect that the Turkish side will return to the negotiating table with a view to facilitate a settlement in Cyprus.He said he expects the UN to continue presenting the Greek and Turkish Cypriot sides with non papers for discussion at next month's expected resumption of talks and to submit a comprehensive framework of a solution at the beginning of next year, when Papapetrou expects to see both sides come under pressure and face dilemmas. "Unfortunately statements by Turkish officials and Turkish Cypriot leader Rauf Denktash leave no room for any hope that the Turkish side will return to the talks with a different political will to pave the way towards a solution," Papapetrou had told London Greek Radio in an interview.
