Clinton met Wednesday with Turkish Cyrpiot President Mehmet Ali Talat. She met earlier this month in Prague with Markos Kyprianou, foreign minister of the Greek Cypriots, who will come next week to Washington for further talks. "She expressed her support for the efforts of both sides to build on the momentum and achieve a solution as soon as possible, which will require courage on all sides," State Department spokesman Robert Wood said. Clinton voiced "her confidence that they can meet this challenge," he said.
