Cypriot President proposes new UN initiative on Cyprus
Nicosia, Mar 17 (CNA) -- Cypriot President Tassos Papadopoulos said today that the Greek Cypriot side had proposed to UN Secretary General Kofi Annan to launch a new initiative to solve the Cyprus problem.
He explained that the proposal had been conveyed through the Cyprus Republic's Permanent Representative to the UN.
President Papadopoulos was asked to clarify statements by Polish President Aleksander Kwasniewski, after talks they had this morning, that the Greek Cypriot side had proposed the launching of an initiative by the UN in the direction of a Cyprus settlement.
At his regular press briefing, Government Spokesman Kypros Chrysostomides said that about a month or so ago the Greek Cypriot side had conveyed its readiness to engage in fresh negotiations on the basis of the solution plan proposed by Annan.

Is any news leaking out about this, beyond Kwasniewski's unintentional slip?
