"Iacovou: EU won’t replace UN in Cyprus peace drive
Monday, September 26, 2005
Greek Cypriot foreign minister says Annan will re-engage after Turkey starts accession talks with the EU on Oct. 3

ANKARA – Turkish Daily News

The European Union will only contribute to U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan's efforts to find a settlement in Cyprus and will not replace it since the process is exclusively under U.N. auspices, Greek Cypriot Foreign Minister George Iacovou was quoted as saying yesterday.

Iacovou also said the start of Turkey's accession negotiations with the EU would trigger fresh U.N. efforts for a solution on the island."
