Cyprus - UN Secretary-General - Letter
Nicosia, Dec 29 (CNA) -- The government of the Republic of Cyprus has
appealed to the UN Secretary-General to use all his influence and intensify
effort to secure the immediate release of abducted Greek Cypriot Panicos
Tziakourmas, who is illegally detained in the Turkish-occupied part of
Nicosia by the occupation regime.
The government also considers that Kofi Annan has to put pressure on Turkey,
which continues to maintain a 30,000 strong occupation army in Cyprus'
northern part, to achieve his release and describes the abduction "a
provocative act tantamount to hostage taking and a terrorist act."
