    [02] Turkish occupied Cyprus - Illegal "citizenship"

    Nicosia, Nov 4 (CNA) - Nearly 49 thousand people were given the so-called "citizenship" of the illegal regime in the areas of Cyprus occupied by Turkey since 1974, according to a front-page article in Turkish Cypriot newspaper "Kibris", which comes to back the position of the Cyprus government that Ankara and its puppet regime are changing the demographic character of the island to serve their interests.

    "Kibris", which has the highest circulation in the occupied areas, says that according to figures given by a special investigative committee to the illegal "parliament" in Turkish occupied Cyprus, 48 thousand 816 people were given the so-called "citizenship" since 1974, while the report warns that the Turkish Cypriot community may face a number of social, cultural and economic problems if this trend is not stopped.

    Cyprus peace talks - Sources - UN chief Geneva, Nov 4 (CNA) -- As parties involved in the UN-led proximity talks continue to work during the weekend, attention is already being focused on next week's presence in Geneva of Secretary General Kofi Annan, who might make some kind of move with regard to the talks.

    The UN talks, which opened here Wednesday and are expected to close on 10 November, have tackled so far the issues relating to the structure and the distribution of powers of the executive. A new round of proximity talks is expected to take place in January next year.
