(DP) [04] Denktash repeats claim for sovereigntyKIBRIS and HALKIN SESI (2.2.00) report about the ongoing proximity talks in Geneva. The papers report about Turkish Cypriot leader Rauf Denktash/s statements prior to yesterday/s meeting with UN Secretary General/s Special Advisor for Cyprus, Alvaro de Soto.Asked to comment on President Clerides/ statement to AP that apart from four core points he was unaware that there are other points on the negotiation table, Denktash said: ``It is not my mistake that Clerides does not know there are other core issues other than the four core issues on the negotiation table''. Denktash went on and said that ``unless Turkish Cypriot/s sovereignty and rights are accepted and recognized I will discuss neither territory nor borders nor any other map during the proximity talks''. When asked to comment on President Clerides/ statement that the Turkish side/s insistence on the occupied area/s recognition is precluding the settlement Denktash said: ``This statement by Clerides demonstrates that he does not intend to settle the problem. Clerides is denying bizonality and refuses to accept the exchange of property which is supported by the Security Council. He is encouraging the return of all displaced persons. All these demonstrate that he does not intend to settle the problem''. Denktash further warned that foreign intervention will negatively effect the process. He claimed that ``such intervention encourages the Greek Cypriot side''. He wanted the issue to be handled by the UN Security General. Denktash stressed that they are debating the ``confederation''.
