Yerevan (Yerkir) – In 2010 Greek and Turkish parts of Cyprus will
accelerate the negotiation process aimed at reaching accord and
putting an end to 35-year confrontation.
"The Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot leaders are intensifying their
United Nations-backed talks aimed at reunifying the Mediterranean
island, scheduling two three-day series of discussions next month
after a senior UN official said they had made good progress over the
past year," the UN website reads.
Both leaders Dimitris Christofias and Mehmet Ali Talat met under UN
auspices in Nicosia. The officials announced their intensions in the
joint statement voiced by the Coordinator of the UN’s Good Offices
Mission, Yasser Sabra.
