[01] Foreign Minister - Cyprus peace effort
Nicosia, Oct 8 (CNA) -- Foreign Minister Ioannis Kasoulides has made it
abundantly clear that "we will never accept a confederation in Cyprus nor a
solution of two states, as this would not constitute a settlement", noting
these possibilities have already been rejected by the US, Britain, Russia,
France, China and the European Union.
Speaking at a ceremony held last night by the Municipality of the Turkish
occupied town of Morphou, Kasoulides referred to an opening statement made
by the UN Secretary General at the start of proximity talks in New York
last month, which caused concern to the Greek Cypriot side, and expressed
certainty the UN and the international community now realise its
consequences.

[02] DIKO - Resolution - Cyprus question
Nicosia, Oct 8 (CNA) -- Centre-right Democratic Party (DIKO) believes the
Cyprus problem is at a very crucial phase and there is an effort underway
that is leading to a confederation on the island, a settlement it considers
as unacceptable.
In a resolution adopted during the first day of its conference yesterday
and made public today, DIKO expresses concern with a statement made by UN
Secretary General Kofi Annan at the start of the fourth round of Cyprus
proximity talks in September as well as some ideas included in unofficial
documents presented by his special adviser Alvaro de Soto, who is
conducting the talks.
