Cypriot Minister of Foreign Affairs George Iacovou on Wednesday told British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw that Nicosia rejected Ankara's proposal to end the division of the island.

Iacovou made the announcement in a press statement after hosting an official lunch in Straw's honor.

'I told Straw to convey to Turkish Minister of Foreign Affairs Abdullah Gul that his suggestions mean nothing,' said Iacovou.

'They add nothing at all and leave us at the same point as May last year, when Turkey made similar suggestions,' Iacovou said."
