EDITORIAL

The cost of failure Although Turkish-Cypriot leader Rauf Denktash has yet to officially embrace the UN plan to reunify Cyprus as a basis for negotiations, everything seems to suggest that he will not reject it at this stage. In light of the positive reaction by Cyproit President Glafcos Clerides and Greek Prime Minister Costas Simitis, talks are expected to resume next week.

COMMENTARY

Lost opportunities syndrome It would be no exaggeration to say that the positive reaction by Nicosia and Athens to the UN plan on Cyprus's reunification is largely due to what the late New Democracy leader Evangelos Averoff referred to as the «lost opportunities» syndrome. Since 1964 we have seen many proposed solutions brokered by the international community.

OPINION

Selling approval... Since Friday afternoon, the whole world has found itself faced with a much-debated United Nations resolution, which, at first sight, has as its sole aim the disarmament of Iraq and the toppling of Saddam Hussein, but which also paves the way for UN intervention in geopolitical upheavals across the Middle East.
