[01] Clinton - Cyprus - Report
Washington, Jan 8 (CNA) -- Stability in the eastern Mediterranean region by
reducing long-standing Greco-Turkish tensions and pursuing a comprehensive
settlement on Cyprus are goals of the US administration, as far as the
region is concerned, according to a White House report.
The report also notes that tensions on Cyprus, Greek-Turkish
disagreements in the Aegean and Turkey's relationship with the European
Union have "serious implications for regional stability and the evolution
of European political and security structures."

[02] Environmentalists - Protest
Nicosia, Jan 8 (CNA) -- Environmentalists in Cyprus will stage Sunday an
anti-nuclear protest in a novel way - by following the local tradition of
cutting a New Year's cake.
The protest, aimed against plans by Ankara to build a nuclear plant in
southern Turkey, will take place at the top of a tall building in central
Nicosia, near the UN controlled buffer zone.
