[01] LEFT PARTIES - MEETING
President of the Confederal Group United European Left/Nordic Green
Left Francis Wurtz has said that the occupation of Cyprus, an EU
member-state, by Turkey, a country aspiring to join the EU, must end.
``With the prospect of a regulation of the northern Ireland question,
Cyprus will soon be the only country in the EU experiencing military
occupation by another country, which moreover is a candidate for
accession to the EU``, Wurtz told a Euro-Mediterranean meeting of Left
Parties hosted by left-wing AKEL party in Nicosia, adding that ``this
anomaly has to come to an end.``
He reiterated that the European Left supports the principle of a
bi-zonal and bi-communal federation in Cyprus, and ``places its hopes
in close cooperation between both communities in a reunified Cyprus.``
