Cohen Press Availability with Greek Minister of Defense
Secretary of Defense William S. Cohen
Joint Press Conference with Greek Minister of Defense Akis
Tsohatzopoulos
Thessaloniki, Greece 8 October 2000
Question: This is for Secretary Cohen. President Clinton promised that
during his term he would help to solve the Cyprus problem. Until now,
we have not seen any substantive results. What do you have to say on
that?
Secretary Cohen: President Clinton, of course, has dedicated himself
to helping to find a solution with respect to Cyprus. Frankly, we are
encouraged with the four rounds of discussions that have taken place
under the auspices of the UN. Another round is set for next month and
we are encouraged by the progress made in those discussions. And so,
we will continue to urge that the parties seek a way to resolve the
situation for the future. But President Clinton has tried to be a very
positive force in bringing the parties together, but only the parties,
of course, can resolve the situation on Cyprus. They are meeting again
under the auspices of the UN and we think that should continue.
