Cyprus negotiations may start on February 9

According to NTV’s report, Annan would send a conditional invitation next week to all related sides in Cyprus upon Powell’s suggestion.

This invitation would ask both sides to make commitment to hold referenda on Annan plan even if they accord or not.

The diplomatic sources in Washington said that Turkey was ready to give this guarantee if Greece and Greek Cyprus accepts this offer.

On condition of the realization of these developments, the negotiations are expected to restart at the undersecretary level.
