    [01] Foreign Minister - UN human rights report

    Nicosia, Mar 22 (CNA) -- The UN is expected to issue today a second report on the question of human rights in Cyprus to rectify the original one, which the government considers "unacceptable and regrettable" and believes it runs the risk of causing a serious breach of trust between the Republic and the UN.

    Foreign Minister Ioannis Kasoulides has said the five permanent members of the UN Security Council have sided with the government on the issue, saying Nicosia is rightfully protesting an attempt in the report to equate the legal government of the Republic with the Turkish Cypriot occupation regime in occupied Cyprus, which the European Court of Human Rights has described as a local subordinate administration to Turkey.

    [04] Cyprus - Rare antiquities

    Nicosia, Mar 22 (CNA) -- A rare Roman period tomb adorned with wall paintings was discovered today in the western town of Paphos while workers were laying sewer pipes.

    The tomb, found close to the Tombs of the Kings area, site of one of the largest cemeteries in Cyprus from the Hellenistic and Roman periods, bears a wall painting of a woman and according to archaeologists the tomb seems to have been pillaged.

    Yesterday, in the same area, a sarcophagus with a mosaic was discovered. CNA/SS/RM/MM/2001
