NICOSIA, Sept 3 (AP/UNB) - Israel's foreign minister says talks with the Palestinians should focus on security and economic issues, and aim at a long-term deal.

Avigdor Lieberman says the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is very complicated, and "the best or realistic approach is a long-term intermediate agreement or solution."

In their first face-to-face talks in nearly two years, Israeli and Palestinian leaders pledged in Washington this week to keep meeting at regular intervals.

Lieberman said Friday he was uncertain whether "emotional conflicts" like Jerusalem, refugees and Jewish settlements could be resolved. He adds: "I prefer to focus all our efforts on security and economic issues."

Lieberman was speaking after talks with Cypriot Foreign Minister Marcos Kyprianou.
