New Peace Plan for Cyprus Is Issued
From Times Wire Reports
Secretary-General Kofi Annan presented Greek and Turkish Cypriots with a plan to unite their divided island into a single country modeled on Switzerland, with two equal states.
The island has had a Greek Cypriot-held south and Turkish-occupied north since Turkey invaded in 1974 after a failed coup by backers of union with Greece.
The U.N. plan would create a six-member presidential council with a rotating presidency.
