US State Department Spokesperson Richard Boucher said he has no knowledge of any new initiative prepared by United Nations (UN) Secretary-General Kofi Annan for Cyprus. In a press briefing, Boucher said that the Annan plan is a good one and there should be a way to make both parties accept this plan.
Meanwhile, Turkish Foreign Ministry spokesperson Namik Tan, commenting on Land Forces Commander General Yasar Buyukanit's statement that no soldier will leave the island unless a permanent agreement is signed in Cyprus, said, 'If the Greek side had approached the Annan Plan positively, the security issues would have been solved by now.' Remarking that Turkey held a peaceful vision for Cyprus, Tan reminded that Ankara put forward this attitude during the discussions of the Annan Plan. "
