    [01] Hellenic-Canadian Solidarity Committee - General Assembly

    Nicosia, Mar 6 (CNA) - Cyprus President Glafcos Clerides, addressing the annual General Assembly of the Hellenic-Canadian Solidarity Committee for Cyprus, urged all overseas Greeks to intensify their efforts towards a peaceful solution of the Cyprus problem, by using their influence on policy- making centres in the countries they live in.

    The General Assembly, which took place on Sunday in Toronto, adopted a resolution calling on the Canadian government to exert pressure on Turkey, so that Ankara may abandon its negative and anachronistic policy regarding a settlement in Cyprus, divided since 1974, when Turkey invaded and occupied its northern third.
