[09] House President - Parties - UNFICYP
Nicosia, Jun 30 (CNA) - Cyprus House of Representatives President Spyros
Kyprianou and political parties have strongly condemned a decision by the
illegal regime in the Turkish occupied areas of the island to impose
measures against the UN Peace-Keeping Force here (UNFICYP), stressing they
are contrary to the international oganisation's decisions and undermine its
credibility.
"The measures are unacceptable and illegal," Kyprianou said echoing the
position expressed earlier by the Cyprus government, adding that the "UN
should categorically reject them and condemn the illegal regime for this
illegal action."
