    Britain - Cyprus problem - EU

    London, Jul 19 (CNA) - Britain has assured it is doing everything possible in support of the proximity talks aimed at reaching a settlement in Cyprus and reaffirmed that a settlement is not a precondition for the Republic's accession to the European Union, noting Cyprus has made "excellent progress" in its negotiations with the Union.

    Replying to questions in the House of Commons Tuesday, State Minister for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs responsible for Europe, Keith Vaz also said that Turkey's candidacy is a separate issue to that of Cyprus and will be judged on the Copenhagen criteria and the state of its negotiations.

    [02] Women - Anti-occupation event

    Nicosia, Jul 19 (CNA) - Cypriot refugee women this morning began a one-day hunger strike in Eleftheria (Freedom) Square in central Nicosia, demanding the restoration of human rights in Cyprus and calling on the international community to exert pressure on Turkey so that it withdraws its troops illegally stationed here since they invaded the island occupying 37 per cent of its territory.

    Throughout this week political parties and refugee organisations as well as relatives of missing persons are holding events to condemn the Turkish invasion of the island on July 20, 1974 and demand the implementation of UN resolutions on Cyprus.
