Yerevan (Yerkir) - United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon said
on Monday leaders of divided Cyprus must make more effort if a peace
deal is to be successfully concluded and that both had pledged to
work on a deal as soon as possible.
The United Nations has been trying inconclusively for years to end
decades of conflict between Greek and Turkish Cypriots which has
impeded Turkey's ambition to join the European Union, where Greek
Cypriots represent Cyprus in the bloc.
The United Nations acts as a facilitator in talks, and last week
announced "significant progress" on some aspects of how the two
sides could govern the island together in a future two-zone federation.
