London, Nov. 28.

British-Greek talks aimed at settling the Cyprus problem will open at Athens this week, informed sources said today.

The talks will be a follow-up to recent dis- cussions between British officials in Cyprus and Athens, on the one hand, and Archbishop Makarios, leader of the Movement for Cyprus-Greece Union, on the other, these sources said.

The Turkish Government will be briefed on the results of the talks, the sources said.

Britain, Greece, and Turkey failed to reach an agreement on the Cyprus problem in their nine-day meeting held here last August and September.- France-Presse.
