[01] Cyprus settlement should be based on a single sovereignty and international personality and a single citizenship

"All the UN Security Council resolutions envisage a Cyprus settlement based on a state of Cyprus with a single sovereignty and international personality and a single citizenship and explicitly exclude union with any other country or any form of partition or secession", Cyprus Government Spokesman Costas Serezis stressed today.

In an official statement issued today, Government Spokesman expressed regret at statements made yesterday by the Foreign Minister of Turkey Mr Cem, who claimed that the idea of confederation is gaining ground on account of Turkey's stand.

"Neither the Government of the Republic of Cyprus nor the Greek Cypriot side in general will be carried away by Mr Cem's statements", Mr Serezis said ,adding that Mr Cem "knows too well that he will not secure recognition of a Turkish Cypriot state, for he has no international support in this respect".

Replying to Mr Cem's allegation that "the Turkish Cypriot community has the right to secession", Mr Serezis stressed that in this matter too he has no international support, for if such a right were recognised, then the so- called "Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus" would also be recognised".

[02] President Clerides receives distinct decoration

President Glafcos Clerides was honoured with the highest decoration of the Armenian Catholicacy of Cilicia, by his Holiness the Armenian Patriarch Aram I, at a special ceremony yesterday.

Speaking during the ceremony for his decoration President Clerides expressed his warmest thanks and appreciation for the great honour that the Church of Armenians bestowed on him. He assured that the Government of Cyprus and himself personally will continue, as they have done in the past, to give every support and assistance to foster the progress and prosperity of the Armenian Community in Cyprus.
