U.N. Cyprus envoy say sees no obstacle to new peace talks


    NICOSIA (Reuters) - A U.N. envoy for ethnically-split Cyprus said on Tuesday he expected stalled peace talks to resume "within weeks" following a six-month suspension in a row over offshore gas reserves.

    "I see no obstacle to a very early resumption of talks once the election process in the north of Cyprus is done," said Espen Barth Eide, a Norwegian diplomat who oversees the Cyprus peace process for the United Nations.

    Northern Cyprus, a breakaway Turkish Cypriot state, holds presidential elections on April 19.
