"Turkey says it wants to speed up Cyprus negotiations
By Stefanos Evripidou

TOP TURKISH diplomats met throughout yesterday at the Turkish Foreign Ministry in Ankara with the stated intention of discussing ways to speed up negotiations on the Cyprus problem and secure a solution in the coming months.

Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu attended the meetings, along with top Turkish diplomats and ambassadors from London, Athens, and other EU capitals. Discussions on how to approach the Cyprus talks in the coming months will continue today.

Foreign Minister Marcos Kyprianou yesterday doubted the stated objectives of the Ankara meetings, arguing that any decision to speed up the process and support the talks could only come from a high level, and not through meetings with diplomats."
