[01] Spokesman - UN - Correction
Nicosia, Mar 23 (CNA) -- The government considers a clarification UN
Secretary General Kofi Annan has made with respect to Cyprus "clear and
full" and believes it has no reason to deviate from such clarification, its
Spokesman Michalis Papapetrou has said, referring to a correction Annan
made after statements at a press conference.
Following strong representations from Cyprus, Annan replaced a reference to
Cypriot authorities, both Greek and Turkish, with the phrase "Cypriot
parties, both Greek and Turkish", to clarify that the only recognized
authorities on the island are the internationally recognized government of
the Republic and not the self-styled Turkish Cypriot regime in occupied
Cyprus.
