[02] Presidential Commissioner - Cyprus problem
Nicosia, Sep 16 (CNA) -- Cyprus Presidential Commissioner Manolis
Christofides has said that the Greek Cypriot side wants a just solution of
the Cyprus problem and has the political will to proceed to the peace talks
in view to reach a settlement.
Speaking before overseas Cypriots in Toronto, Canada, Christofides noted
that the Turkish side's intransigence was still hindering progress in the
Cyprus problem and noted that UN resolutions on Cyprus and High Level
Agreements of 1977 and 1979, providing for a bicommunal, bizonal federation,
consist the "common ground" for a negotiated settlement of the Cyprus
problem.
