[01] GREEK AND CYPRIOT FMs - CYPRUS QUESTION
Greek and Cypriot Foreign Ministers Dora Bakoyiannis and George
Lillikas agreed here today that the two countries will continue to
cooperate closely for achieving a viable, functional and just solution
to the Cyprus problem.
Lillikas held Thursday a series of contacts in Athens, in his first
visit to Greece after his appointment as Cyprus` Foreign Minister. He
had talks with Bakoyiannis, while he was received by Greek President
Karolos Papoulias and had separate meetings with Development Minister
Demetris Sioufas and opposition PASOK leader George Papandreou.
In statements after their meeting both Bakoyiannis and Lillikas
underlined that there is no difference in Greece`s and Cyprus`
strategic goals.
[02] SPOKESMAN - PROPERTIES - ``COMMITTEE``
Government Spokesman Christodoulos Pashiardis has described the
decisions taken by the so called committee for compensation and
restoration of the Greek Cypriot property set up by the puppet regime
in Cyprus Turkish occupied areas as regards the properties of three
Greek Cypriots in the Turkish-occupied, since 1974, part of Cyprus as
``a negative development,`` adding that there is no legal way for the
government to prevent this ``unfortunate development.``
The so called committee has announced that it will return the
properties of two Greek Cypriots in occupied Akanthou, while it will
give compensation to a third Greek Cypriot, without specifying the
figure to be granted.
``This development is negative because it offers the Turkish side the
capacity to claim before the European Court of Human Rights that it has
fulfilled the Court`s demand to introduce an effective internal remedy
to secure the respect of the Greek Cypriot refugees` right to
property,`` Pashiardis said.
