LEFKOSA - President Rauf Denktas of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) met on Friday with Greek Cypriot leader Glafcos Clerides in the buffer zone.
Addressing journalists prior to the meeting, President Denktas pointed out, ''during today's meeting, we, as the Turkish Cypriot side, will continue to explain the changes we want to make in the plan, which was presented to the sides by United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan.''
Replying a question about a rally to be held in Istanbul on Sunday to extend support to him and to the TRNC, President Denktas said, ''Turkey's sensitivity about Cyprus is a well-known fact. They have some concerns and display their concerns through democratic ways. I hope these rallies will not be used as a tool to escalate tension.''
