US ENVOY URGES TRNC TO RECONSIDER ANNAN PLAN

“I see a chance [for agreement] and I think we all have to work for it,” said Weston. “[This] will require a lot of work and contact between the US, the EU, EU member states and others.” He continued, “A solution to the Cyprus problem can only help Turkey’s own relations with and advancement towards the EU.” He also praised the TRNC decision in April to allow cross-border movements, but added, “These measures are not a substitute for a settlement, and don’t diminish the need for a settlement.”
