[02] Cyprus FM - "Land for Peace"
Nicosia, Apr 25 (CNA) -- Cyprus Foreign Minister Ioannis Kasoulides has
said that territory is the key issue for a settlement and rejected a demand
by Turkish Cypriot leader Rauf Denktash for an exchange of all properties
between Greek and Turkish Cypriots.
Addressing a Rotarian gathering in Nicosia last night, the Foreign Minister
said the Cyprus government would not discuss such a demand because it was
"contrary to internationally accepted human rights".
