IACOVOU - LEDRA STREET
Presidential Commissioner George Iacovou has said that due to an issue
brought up by the Turkish side the opening of a crossing point at Ledra
street, at the centre of Nicosia, has not moved ahead.
Asked after a meeting with Turkish Cypriot leaders aid Ozdil Nami why
the UN demining team had not entered Ledra street to begin work,
Iacovou said he had raised this issue during the meeting.
I have said in the past that certain issues sometimes come up and do
not allow us to get results. Something like that has obviously
happened. He (Nami) promised that this issue will be overcome, he
added.
Asked if the Turkish side has reneged on the issue of the demarcation
of the buffer zone, Iacovou said he could not comment on this.
