[02] Foreign Minister - Missing persons - War dead
by Maria Myles New York, Sep 16 (CNA) - Foreign Minister Ioannis Kasoulides
announced today that the remains of another 43 persons, missing or war dead
from the 1974 Turkish invasion of Cyprus, have been identified through the
scientific process of DNA by foreign and Cypriot experts.
The Minister appealed to the Turkish side to cooperate for the
implementation of a 1997 agreement to help resolve this humanitarian issue
and said the government is willing to identify remains of Turkish Cypriots
who are said to be missing and may be buried anywhere in Cyprus.

[03] Government Spokesman - Turkish Foreign Minister
by Maria Myles New York, Sep 16 (CNA) - Government Spokesman Michalis
Papapetrou dismissed unsubstantiated remarks by Turkish Foreign Minister
Ismail Cem relating to the situation in Cyprus, saying it is outrageous for
Cem to claim that the ceasefire line on the island was drawn up by the
United Nations in 1963.
The spokesman, invited to comment on Cem's speech before the UN General
Assembly, said the Turkish Foreign Minister had a "very selective memory"
and reminded him that the solution to the Cyprus question has already been
defined by the UN decisions as a bizonal, bicommunal federation.
