Papadopoulos has no problem with FM as long as Greece ‘sticks to the line’

Cypriot President Tassos Papadopoulos yesterday expressed confidence that Greece will continue to support “the agreed line on the Cyprus issue” notwithstanding the appointment of Dora Bakoyannis as new foreign minister.

In an interview published in the Sunday edition of Ethnos newspaper, Papadopoulos criticized the previous, Socialist, government of accepting the mediation of UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan in February 2004 even though the latter had, according to Papadopoulos, caved in to almost all demands made by the Turkish side."
