Turkish FM Gul may visit Greece in September

Beglitis stated today that Athens conveyed his wish to meet with Turkish Cypriot opposition which desired a resolution on the bases of UN Secretary General Kofi Annan.

He added that any initiative by Annan to restart negotiations in Cyprus would be welcomed by the Athens administration and stressed, "But it doesn’t seem possible due to Turkish Cypriot President Rauf Denktas’ uncomprimising approach."

Beglitis stated that during Papandreau’s south visit the last developments on the Cyprus issue, Turkey-EU relations and Middle East conflict would be taken up.
