[04] Rapporteur - Council of Europe - Interview
by Riana Magidou Limassol, Oct 3 (CNA)-- The division of Cyprus is the
result of the 1974 invasion and occupation of 37% of the island by Turkish
troops, Andras Barsony, rapporteur on the situation in Cyprus in the
Council of Europe has said, adding that the UN led proximity talks is the
way to solve the Cyprus question.
In an interview with CNA, Barsony said that in his view the UN Secretary-
General's opening statement at the beginning of the fourth round of
proximity talks in New York in September, suggests that "whaterver kind of
agreement to solve the problem is reached, it will be achieved only if
there is consensus between the two parties".

[05] Cyprus - Britain - Foreign Ministers meeting
London, Oct 3 (CNA) -- Britain has expressed its full support to the Cyprus
peace talks that got underway last December, considering them an historic
opportunity for a solution, and expressed the view that a settlement on the
island should reflect UN resolutions stipulating for a bizonal, bicommunal
federation.
Speaking to the press after a meeting in London with Cyprus Foreign
Minister Ioannis Kasoulides, Britain's Foreign Secretary Robin Cook also
said the illegal entity in the areas of Cyprus occupied by Turkey since
1974 is not recognised and therefore there can be no move to facilitate
trade from this region of the island.
