President Glafcos Clerides and Turkish Cypriot leader Rauf Denktash met on Friday, in the absence of their aides, with UN Secretary General's Special Adviser on Cyprus Alvaro de Soto, in the context of direct talks to solve the Cyprus problem, as well as with UN chief's Acting Special Representative in Cyprus Zbigniew Wlosowicz to discuss the missing persons issue.

As the CNA reports, Government Spokesman Michalis Papapetrou told the Agency that Denktash would present his views on the issue of territory during his next meeting with President Clerides on Tuesday, July 30.

Papapetrou added that on the issue of missing persons, discussions will continue despite the fact that there are "difficulties and different opinions".

Asked why the aides of the leaders of the two communities were not present at today's meetings, Papapetrou explained that "on the issue of missing persons they meet alone with Wlosowicz".

Regarding the Cyprus problem, "they discussed what they would do in view of the difficulties of the talks and so de Soto said they should go alone".
