Latest talks last eighty minutes

PRESIDENT Glafcos Clerides and Turkish Cypriot leader Rauf Denktash yesterday met in Nicosia to continue talks under the UN aegis on the Cyprus problem.

The meeting, the third this week, which lasted for about 80 minutes, took place at premises near Nicosia airport in the UN-controlled buffer zone. No statements were made after the talks.

The current round of negotiations got under way on January 16 when the two men agreed to meet three times a week to discuss the future of Cyprus.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
