Visiting Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas warned here Sunday that there will be no inter- Palestinian talks unless Hamas accepts the legitimacy of the Fatah- dominated Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), Xinhua reported.

Abbas told reporters at a press conference that "we make it clear that... no dialogue with those who rejects the Palestine Liberation Organization," referring to the rival Hamas movement who took control of Gaza Strip in a coup in June 2007.

"The organization (PLO) is the only representative of the Palestinians," he added.
