Cypriots to vote on UN plan to reunify the island.
(From Agence France Presse)
The United Nations will put its revised plan to reunify Cyprus to separate referenda on the Mediterranean island next month, UN chief Kofi Annan announced after the rival communities failed to hammer out a deal.
"The choice is between this settlement and no settlement," he said after marathon talks with leaders of Cyprus's Greek and Turkish communities as well as the Greek and Turkish prime ministers.
The talks were aimed at reaching a deal on a revised blueprint drawn up by Annan aimed at reunifying the Mediterranean island before it is due to join the European Union on May 1.
"If the referendum is approved, Cyprus will be reunified in time to accede to the EU," the UN secretary general said.
Annan had given the delegations until midnight Wednesday to support his proposals, or to see them put to a vote across the divided island without their backing.
But the island's rival communities failed to reach an agreement between themselves in the week-long negotiations at a secluded hotel complex in the snow-covered Swiss Alpine resort of Buergenstock.
