[02] Foreign Minister - Cyprus problem
Nicosia, Apr 23 (CNA) -- Foreign Minister Ioannis Kasoulides has said the
government will never accept injustice, imposed by the use of force, and
will continue its efforts to reunite Cyprus, divided since Turkish troops
invaded in 1974.
The minister stressed the only way to a solution is to ensure that
international law, respect for human rights and the European Union rules
and regulations form the basis of a settlement.
