    [01] OIC Foreign Ministers issue communique on Cyprus

    by Maria Myles New York, Nov 16 (CNA) -- The Organisation of Islamic Conference adopted here yesterday a communique which does not include unacceptable terminology and phrases Turkey had tried to introduce with regard to the situation in Cyprus, whose northern part has been under Turkish occupation since 1974.

    The meeting of OIC Foreign Ministers expressed "its firm support for the rightful cause of the Turkish Muslim people of Cyprus and reaffirmed its resolutions and declarations on Cyprus," while it repeated its call for a "just and negotiated settlement that would respect their legitimate aspirations."|

    [02] Turkey's audacity keeps UN resolutions unimplemented

    by Maria Myles New York, Nov 16 (CNA) -- Cyprus' representative to the UN General Assembly, Ambassador Constantinos Mousioutas, has intervened in a discussion during which reference to the Turkish occupation of Cyprus was made by the Armenian representative to the Assembly.

    "UN resolutions remain, through the audacity of Turkey, unimplemented and the occupation continues," Ambassador Mousioutas said at Wednesday's discussion, after the Armenian ambassador, replying to Turkish allegations about his own country, said that Turkey which occupies almost half of Cyprus is accusing others of occupation.| CNA/MM/GP/2001

    [03] House President wants action by UN and EU against Turkish threats

    Larnaca, Nov 16 (CNA) -- Cyprus House of Representatives President Demetris Christofias has expressed hope that Turkish threats against Cyprus and peace in the region would be dealt with in a more determined way by the UN Security Council and the European Union.

    Speaking on his departure for Stockholm to attend the EU Parliamentary Speakers' Conference with the participation of their counterparts from EU candidate countries, Christofias said Cyprus President Glafcos Clerides has not accepted an invitation by Turkish Cypriot leader Rauf Denktash for a face-to-face meeting, as it was conveyed, adding that should it take place, the UN should make sure that such a meeting would be substantive.| CNA/MAN/RM/GP/2001
