Students condemn pseudostate anniversary

Nicosia, Nov 15 (CNA) -- Students across the government-controlled areas of the Republic condemned today the illegal declaration of the pseudostate in the Turkish occupied areas of the island, on 15 November 1983. At the same time they sent out a message that the struggle for Cyprus' reunification continues.

The main event was staged in Nicosia, where students marched down the main avenue of the capital towards Eleftheria (Freedom) Square and held a demonstration to denounce the illegal regime set up in the areas occupied by Turkish troops.

Students chanted slogans and adopted a resolution addressed to the UN, calling on the international community to develop new initiatives for a settlement based on a plan proposed by UN Secretary General Kofi Annan that would meet the concerns of the Greek Cypriots.
