U.S. : We Do Not Want Liar Papadopoulos

U.S. officials told reporters that Papadopoulos could not find anyone to talk to in Washington. A high-ranking U.S. official said that Papadopoulos had manipulated his nation before the April 24 referendum and told lies on the Annan Plan. He said that no one was eager to see Papadopoulos in Washington, “the attorney of Slobodan Milosevitch.”

Papadopoulos is to meet the Secretary General of UN Kofi Annan in New York on June 3. Annan is expected to issue his Cyprus report on June 2.
