"Cyprus shies at written objections
NICOSIA (AFP) - Cypriot Foreign Minister George Iacovou said yesterday Nicosia was not ready to make its positions known on changes to a United Nations reunification plan for divided Cyprus, as requested by UN chief Kofi Annan before engaging in a new peace initiative.
�We cannot accept the demand to submit written and detailed changes to the plan because we do not know how the secretary-general intends to handle this,� Iacovou told reporters. �Would he give them to the Turkish Cypriots to consider or to reject?�
The minister was responding to comments made by US Cyprus envoy Laura Kennedy, who told a local newspaper that Washington backed a UN call for Greek Cypriots to put on paper the changes they seek to the plan."
