Glafcos Clerides, Bandler said their discussion focused on "a lot of
important subjects" as President Clerides departs tomorrow for New York
where he will address the UN General Assembly and will meet with UN

[02] Spokesman:Ecevit's statement is threatening
Nicosia, Nov 5 (CNA) -- The Cyprus Government said Turkish Premier Bulent
Ecevit's statement that Turkey could annex Cyprus' occupied territory to
mainland Turkey was "threatening, clumsy and not at all diplomatic."
Government Spokesman Michalis Papapetrou said here today Turkey should get
aligned with the international law, European Union principles and the
Copenhagen criteria adding that this would serve both its own and Turkish
Cypriot interests.|
