Tan: Greek Cypriot Side Steps Away From Solution Of Cyprus Issue

ANKARA (AA) - Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) Spokesman Namik Tan said that Greek Cypriot side was taking steps away from a solution of Cyprus issue.
     Tan held a weekly press conference today (May 9th).
     Answering a question on individual property cases filed by the Greek Cypriots against Turkish Cypriots, Tan said, ''Greek Cypriot side is taking steps away from a solution with such initiatives.''
     Noting that they believed that a fair and comprehensive solution within the scope of UN Secretary General Kofi Annan's good will mission should be found to the Cyprus issue, Tan underlined that Annan called on international community to lift isolations imposed on Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC). ''We expect these calls to be fulfilled as soon as possible,'' Tan added.
