[01] "Cyprus will not capitulate to the Turkish occupation forces", says
Clerides
President Glafcos Clerides has stressed that the Greek Cypriot side will
not capitulate to the Turkish occupation forces, controlling the island's
northern part since they invaded in 1974.
He also said Cyprus is ready for a just and viable solution through
peaceful means and called on the international community to show óappropriate
understandingò because no solution outside the UN framework will be
accepted.
Speaking at an anti-occupation rally, held in Dherynia yesterday organised
to mark Turkey's second offensive against Cyprus,the President thanked all
those who support Cyprus' just cause for freedom and justice and back
efforts to find a lasting settlement of the protracted Cyprus question.
President Clerides ,addressing hundreds of refugees from the district of
Famagusta pledged that ówe shall not bow to the occupation forces but we
are ready to work for a peaceful solutionò.
