US - Cyprus - Foreign aid
Washington, Apr 11 (CNA) -- The US government in its annual fiscal report
to the Congress yesterday requested a 15-million-dollar foreign aid for
Cyprus for the year 2002 to be used for scholarships, bicommunal projects,
measures aimed at the reunification of the island and promoting peace and
cooperation between the two communities.
A press release issued by the leaders of the National Coordinated Effort of
Hellenes describes the request as "another facet" of US President George
Bush's new administration's Cyprus policy and that "this action by
President Bush is consistent with his first personal statement on the
Cyprus issue" regarding his commitment to a just and lasting settlement of
the Cyprus question.
