Greek Cypriot leader seeks re-election

Greek Cypriot President Glafcos Clerides announced today he will seek re-election for a limited third term in order to continue handling the delicate negotiations for the reunification of the war-divided island.

“Developments are rapid and historic. They will determine the future of Cyprus and in the next few months we will be called upon to reach major decisions. We must seek a viable settlement of the Cyprus problem with determination and good sense,” Clerides said.
