[04] Russia - Cyprus question - Statement
Nicosia, Mar 7 (CNA) - Russia believes that dialogue is the only effective
way out of the long-standing deadlock in the efforts to settle the
protracted Cyprus question, and for this purpose is in touch with
interested parties to secure their constructive input towards this goal.
Moscow, reiterating its continuous support for the UN peace effort on
Cyprus, said it wants to see an end to the interruption of the peace talks,
which is a result of the position of the Turkish Cypriot side.

[05] Women's Day - Missing
Nicosia, Mar 7 (CNA) - The plight of the 116 Cypriot women, still listed as
missing since the 1974 Turkish invasion of Cyprus, is highlighted in a
petition the Committee of Relatives of Undeclared Prisoners and Missing
Persons has sent to the five permanent members of the UN Security Council
and the member states of the European Union.
Distributed to coincide with tomorrow's international women's day, the
petition reminds "those in power that Turkey still refuses to give the
necessary answers and reveal information about the fate of so many missing
persons" and draws attention to the anguish of the mothers, wives and
daughters which continues unabated.
