[01] BOT VISIT CYPRUS
Dutch Minister of Foreign Affairs Bernard Bot will pay a working visit
to Cyprus on September 6 and 7, at the invitation of his Cypriot
counterpart George Lillikas.
During his stay on the island, Bot will be received by President Tassos
Papadopoulos and hold talks with Lillikas.
The talks will focus on bilateral relations between The Netherlands and
Cyprus, the Cyprus problem, Turkey`s EU accession course, the situation
in the Middle East, the European Constitution and other EU matters, an
official press release said.
[02] SPOKESMAN - CYPRUS PAKISTAN
The Cyprus government has already made representations concerning the
visit of Turkish Cypriot leader Mehmet Ali Talat to Pakistan, announced
Government Spokesman Christodoulos Pashiardis.
He said the government has assurances from Pakistan that their policy
on the issue of non-recognition of the pseudostate has not changed.
We have no reason to doubt Pakistans assurances, but we have no reason
to doubt the organized effort of the Turkish side for political
upgrading of the illegal regime, the Spokesman added.
He said that if Talat rejoices with such visits and is moved when he is
called president, the fact remains that he is merely the leader of the
Turkish Cypriot community, just as the fact is that Ankara fully
controls the northern part of the Republic of Cyprus and Mr. Talats
role is being determined under the circumstances created by the
invasion and continued military presence of Turkey in the occupied
Cypriot territories.
