Nicosia, Feb 20 (CNA) - Cyprus is to get a life-size replica of the famous
statue of the goddess of love and beauty, Aphrodite of Milos, for the Miss
Universe pageant, to take place here in May. A request to the authorities
of the museum by the Minister of Commerce, Industry and Tourism Nicos
Rolandis to send to Cyprus the actual statue has been turned down, on the
grounds that the statue should not be moved again from its place, not even
within the museum itself.

Nicosia, Feb 20 (CNA) - British Foreign Secretary Robin Cook has said a
solution in Cyprus would help the Republic's bid to join the European Union
but this should not be a precondition for accession. He also said
membership talks with Turkey, also a candidate country, cannot start until
the Copenhagen criteria are met.

1455:CYPPRESS:04
Nicosia, Feb 20 (CNA) - Moves to form Cyprus' socialdemocratic party got
underway on Saturday with the first meeting of members from the socialist
party EDEK and others, who pledged to take the new party forward to achieve
a more active participation in European affairs. As EDEK leader Vassos
Lyssarides announced his decision to hand over the leadership, there were
many calls for him to stay at the helm of the new movement and pledges from
speakers to put the solution of the Cyprus question at the top of their
list of priorities and move Cyprus closer to Europe.
