    USA: Turkish forces use US weapons under agreements

    by Demetris Apokis

    Washington, Jul 28 (CNA) -- The use of US military equipment by Turkish forces is governed by legal agreements, which are followed, Adam Ereli, State Department's Deputy Spokesman, has said.

    Ereli was responding to questions regarding Cyprus government's protests against the use of american weapons by Turkish troops occupying 37 per cent of Cyprus territory since 1974. US-made weapons were displayed during a military parade in the occupied part of the capital Nicosia on 20 July, 30th anniversary of the Turkish invasion of Cyprus.

    The State Department Deputy Spokesman said the US firm view on the question of troops in Cyprus is that ''the island should be demilitarized''.

    Cyprus not satisfied with new US remarks

    Nicosia, Jul 28 (CNA) -- The government of the Republic of Cyprus said here today it was not satisfied with fresh statements by the US State Department with regard to the presence of US-made weapons in the island's northern Turkish occupied areas, carried and used by the occupation army.

    ''The response of the State Department deputy spokesman does not satisfy us and therefore today I reiterated yesterday's demarche to Washington's Ambassador Michael Klosson on this issue,'' Foreign Ministry Permanent Representative Ambassador Sotos Zakheos told CNA.

    Speaking after talks with Klosson, Zakheos said Klosson had repeated to him that the US administration's standing position was to see Cyprus demilitarised.

    Klosson, Zakheos added, stopped short of making any reference to any legal framework which governs US-made weapons the Turkish forces have.

    The Cypriot official said the government had pointed out that the problem lies with the illegal Turkish occupation and the presence of the Turkish troops.

    Cypriot Minister says US weapons and Turkish troops illegal

    Nicosia, Jul 28 (CNA) -- Cypriot Minister of Defence Kyriakos Mavronicolas said today that US weapons and the Turkish occupation army are both in Cyprus illegally, noting that this emerges not from subjective views but from the study of the whole US legal framework in relation to the presence of US-made weapons in the areas of the island under Turkish occupation since 1974.

    Commenting on statements made yesterday by State Department Deputy Spokesman Adam Ereli regarding the US weapons in the Turkish occupied areas, Mavronicolas said the Republic's Ministries of Defence and Foreign Affairs would explain where they based their position regarding the whole issue.

    He said the views of the Republic of Cyprus ''are based on evidence according to the laws in the US community itself.''

    US official says UN plan for Cyprus settlement was fair

    by Apostolis Zoupaniotis

    New York, Jul 28 (CNA) - US Undersecretary for political affairs Marc Grossman said today that a plan proposed by UN Secretary General Kofi Annan to solve the Cyprus problem, in the eyes of the American administration, was fair and provided a good basis for a permanent settlement.

    Grossman told the 37th meeting of clerics of the American Archishopric today that the decision of the Greek Cypriot community, which rejected the Annan plan in the April 24 referendum, was respected.
