"Tassos: I've got better things to do than feed Talat's PR
By George Psyllides
THE Greek Cypriot side is ready for talks to resolve the Cyprus problem under the auspices of the UN secretary-general, President Tassos Papadopoulos said yesterday.
But Papadopoulos did not seem impressed by the readiness expressed by Turkish Cypriot �prime minister� Mehmet Ali Talat to meet him.
�Every meeting is useful and friendly but when it is used for political reasons, I think I have other responsibilities to think of other than Mr Talat�s public relations,� Papadopoulos said.
Talat suggested the two men should meet to discuss issues other than the Annan plan for a settlement of the Cyprus problem, such as trade and the establishment of a Turkish Cypriot school in Limassol�s Turkish quarter.
�We decided on a Turkish Cypriot school a long time go, we did not need Mr Talat to indicate it,� Papadopoulos said.
Trade issues were being examined by the EU, he added."
