Washington called upon the two sides in Cyprus to seize the “historic opportunity” that exists before the European Union (EU) decides for enlargement in Copenhagen in December, and work urgently with the United Nations Secretary-General to achieve a Cyprus settlement, the Cyprus News Agency reported on Tuesday.
In a statement released after the UN presented Cyprus President Glafcos Clerides and Turkish Cypriot leader Rauf Denktash with a proposal for a Cyprus settlement Monday, State Department spokesman Richard Boucher expressed the United States’ full support to the ongoing UN efforts to find a just and durable settlement to the problem.
