Taken Question from May 29, 2002 Briefing

Greece-Turkey Dialogue on Cyprus and the Aegean

Question:  Is the U.S. engaged in Greek-Turkish discussions on the closing of Aegean airspace and in the negotiations on Cyprus, which have a target date for settlement of June 30, 2002?

Answer: We have noted and welcome improved Turkish and Greek relations. 

With respect to Aegean airspace, we refer you to Greece and Turkey for information.

With regard to Cyprus, the U.S. strongly supports and stands ready to assist the U.N. Good Offices Mission in its efforts to assist the parties on the island in reaching a comprehensive settlement of the Cyprus issue.  We stress the need for more urgency in these negotiations in order to reach an agreement by the June target date.
