"Conditions not ripe for a fresh Cyprus initiative
UN official testing waters on new talks
The political conditions are not ripe for talks to start on a fresh initiative to end the division of Cyprus, a United Nations official said in Athens yesterday.
UN Undersecretary General for Political Affairs Ibrahim Gambari said the purpose of his visit to Greece was to see if talks could resume on negotiating an end to the 32-year division of the Mediterranean island.
«We are not there yet. I am looking into how much political will there is and flexibility in this direction,» he said after meeting with Foreign Affairs Minister Dora Bakoyannis."
