[01] Government sends message to those who cover Turkey`s intransigence
The government of Cyprus has sent a message to the Turkish side and all
those who ``attempt to cover Turkey`s intransigence`` on the Cyprus
issue, that the UN Security Council resolutions on Cyprus constitute
the basis for the solution of the Cyprus problem
In statements on Saturday, Stephanou stressed that ``we will not accept
that Turkey and Turkish Cypriot leader Dervis Eroglu impose their
positions for the creation of two states in Cyprus``.
``We will continue struggling for a solution that will free the country
from the Turkish occupation, Turkey`s policy of illegally bringing to
the occupied areas illegal immigrants, and we will continue struggling
for a solution that will reunify our country and our people on the
basis of a bicommunal, bizonal federation, as provided in the relevant
UN Security Council resolutions``, he pointed out.
Furthermore, Stephanou said that ``the relevant UN Security Council
resolutions on Cyprus should be the basis for all in efforts to reach a
solution of the Cyprus problem," adding that "this is our message to
all``.
Stephanou condemned the statements made in Turkey by the Turkish
Cypriot leader, describing them as ``unacceptable``. He noted that
Eroglu, ``who receives instructions from Turkey, repeats the same
allegations for the existence of two states in Cyprus`` in an attempt
to consolidate the faits accomplis of the Turkish invasion and
occupation of Cyprus.
As regards the convention of an international conference on Cyprus,
Stephanou said that the recent resolution adopted by the UN Security
Council in December clearly states that an international conference can
only take place when there is an agreement on the internal aspects of
the Cyprus issue and when the two sides agree that the international
conference is convened.
