Rival Cypriot leaders take up thorny issue of property: UN envoy
NICOSIA, Jan. 28 (Xinhua) -- Leaders of Cyprus' two rival
communities on Wednesday started their negotiations on property
disputes, one of the thorny issues caused by decades-long partition
of the Mediterranean island.
"The two sides formally presented the principles which will guide
the negotiations on the property issue," said Tay-Brook Zerihoun,
the UN Secretary-General's special representative in Cyprus.
Greek Cypriot leader Demetris Christofias and Turkish Cypriot
leader Mehmet Ali Talat will meet again next Wednesday on the
complex issue, the UN envoy added.
