		With one eye on EU membership and another on his own growing unpopularity, Greek-Cypriot President Glafcos Clerides this month embarked on a drive to persuade political party leaders of the need to move rapidly on legislation that would bring the country closer to its future European Union partners.
		Beside their long-standing ideological differences, Clerides' Democratic Rally and the other political groups on the island have been deeply divided by the government's December decision not to deploy Russian anti-aircraft missiles in Cyprus in the face of Turkish threats and the concern of Western powers.
		High on Clerides' list of EU harmonisation requirements are new legislation pertaining to interest rates, financial sector liberalisation and tax hikes aimed at narrowing his government's growing fiscal deficit.

		He branded the latest four-page provocation by Clerides as something that should not be considered serious, and although the Greek Cypriot leader rejected all the fundamental demands of the Turkish Cypriot side, he stayed on in Geneva and is continuing the talks.
		This step of Clerides was very much in line with what he had said to Denktas at Glion in 1987 and later to former U.S. Cyprus Presidential Envoy Richard Holbrooke at his Nicosia office: "I know that I am not the government of the entire island, but the entire world recognizes me as such.
		As Denktas said, Clerides' four-page statement was not something to be taken seriously, and the intended audience of that statement was not the United Nations or the Turkish Cypriot side or world opinion, but rather the Greek Cypriot hawks.

		President Glafcos Clerides, 82, the leader of the Greek Cypriots, and his Turkish Cypriot counterpart, Rauf Denktash, 77, have been rivals for half a century, locked in an ethnic dispute with reverberations far beyond this island in the eastern Mediterranean.
		Over the decades, the bantering, backslapping chemistry between Glafcos Clerides, Greek Cypriot president of the internationally recognized government of Cyprus, and Rauf R. Denktas, his younger Turkish Cypriot counterpart, has become a legendary counterpoint to their chronic failure to negotiate an end to the 38-year-old conflict.
		Clerides, who declined to be interviewed while the contacts are underway, told CNN's Turkish-language station in November: "We are happy that we are going to join the EU, but we would be much happier if we can find the solution and join without difficulties.
