Gul: Time In Cyprus Issue Is Very Short

ANKARA - Foreign Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Abdullah Gul said on Saturday that the Turkish side will cover a patient strategy with good will aiming to obtain a result in negotiations that would resume on February 19.
Gul spoke to reporters at Ankara's Esenboga Airport before leaving for Kuwait to attend meeting of neighboring countries to Iraq.
When asked whether or not an evaluation meeting would take place on Cyprus with the participation of President Rauf Denktas of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC), Gul said busy studies would be made from now on.
Gul said, ''the time is very short and there are many things to be done. There is the EU law on the one side. There is a text of agreement that will be issued. Continuous meetings will take place.''
