Cyprus peace plan appears imperiled

Asked whether the plan ensured a lasting settlement, 67 percent of respondents said no.

The poll was carried out by the Cyprus Communications Services Bureau and had a margin of error of plus or minus 3.46 percentage points.

To help encourage a deal, the EU is offering to spend $330 million to help integrate a unified Cyprus, including $275 million in the north.

Cyprus has been divided since a 1974 Turkish invasion that followed a short-lived coup by supporters of union with Greece.
