[03] Cyprus - House President - Human Rights - Conference
Nicosia, Oct 6 (CNA) -- Cyprus House President Demetris Christofias called
today for support in Cyprus' efforts for the execution of European Court of
Human Rights' (ECHR) rulings, naming Turkey as a country blatantly
violating human rights in Cyprus.
Addressing an International Conference on Human Rights, which took place
today in the southern coastal town of Limassol, Christofias noted that
since the Turkish invasion of the island in 1974, Turkey constantly
violates Cyprus people's human rights and fundamental freedoms, such as
their freedom of movement, settlement and property and exercises an inhuman
policy of ethnic cleansing, while the presence and constant upgrading of
its occupying forces on the island generates a feeling of insecurity.
