[02] Greek Parliamentary Speaker - Press conference
by Maria Chrysanthou New York, Sep 1 (CNA) -- The President of the Greek
Parliament Apostolos Kaklamanis has charged that Turkey is undermining
every effort to settle the Cyprus question and called on the US to stop
giving the impression to Ankara and the Turkish Cypriot leader Rauf
Denktash that they stand by their side.
Addressing the conference of presiding officers of national parliaments,
Kaklamanis referred to the continuing violation of human rights in Cyprus
by Turkey and said he told UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan that UN-
sponsored peace talks have not led anywhere so far because of Turkey's
intransigence.

[03] Spokesman - Exports from occupied areas
Nicosia, Sep 1 (CNA) - The government would be prepared to reconsider its
position on exports from the northern Turkish occupied areas of the
Republic if and when the peace talks make headway and a solution of the
political problem emerges, Government Spokesman Michalis Papapetrou said
here today.
The Spokesman also said the issue of what the Turkish Cypriots call an
"economic embargo" against them has an international dimension, in that
international organisations do not accept certificates of export issued by
the illegal Turkish Cypriot regime and this consequently prohibits economic
activity and exports from the occupied areas to Europe.
