Cyprus unification talks stalling
Disagreements over the degree of autonomy to be granted to Cyprus's two rival communities are stalling talks to reunite the island," Cypriot President Demetris Christofias said Tuesday.
"We believe there is one people made up of two communities, whereas the leader of the Turkish Cypriots is talking about two different peoples. That's a significant obstacle," Christofias said.
He explained that the Greek Cypriot community would never accept a confederation.
The UN brokered talks on reunification of Cyprus have been renewed after four-year stalemate. In 2004, Turkish Cypriots rejected the UN peace plan at a referendum.
