CNA/GP/2001 1530:CYPPRESS:02[02] Cyprus - Greek Presidents - Press conferenceAthens, May 2 (CNA) -- Greek President Costantinos Stefanopoulos has expressed his country's unwavering support for efforts to find a settlement in Cyprus and the Republic's bid to join the European Union, stressing at the same time that Greco-Turkish rapprochement does not mean the Cyprus question takes second place in the list of priorities of the Greek government as far as foreign policy issues are concerned.Stefanopoulos called on the UN Secretary General Kofi Annan to undertake an initiative that would allow the resumption of the UN-led proximity talks on the basis of Security Council resolutions. Cyprus President Glafcos Clerides said he was, as always, assured of Greece's continuous solidarity, adding that Greece stands firmly by the Republic in its efforts to find a peaceful political settlement and become an EU member.

CNA/MM/2001 1730:CYPPRESS:04[04] President Clerides - Athens Mayor - Key to the cityBy Maria Koniotou Athens, May 2 (CNA) - Mayor of Athens Demetris Avramopoulos today presented Cyprus President Glafcos Clerides with the Gold Key of the city of Athens, reassuring that Greece supports Cyprus in its struggle for justice.Speaking at the presentation ceremony, which took place at the Athens Town Hall, President Clerides said that the Key "will remind us that the gates of the metropolis of Hellenism will always remain open for Cypriot Hellenism" and noted that the award goes to Cyprus as a whole "for its contribution to the struggles of the Greek nation". CNA/MK/RG/MM/2001 2050:CYPPRESS:10[10] President Clerides - Greek Archbishop - AthensBy Maria Koniotou Athens, May 2 (CNA) - Cyprus President Glafcos Clerides, who is on a three-day official visit to Greece, met this afternoon with Archbishop of Greece Christodoulos, who said that a joint statement to be issued during the forthcoming visit of Pope John Paul II to Greece is expected to include references to the Cyprus problem and the island's European Union (EU) accession course.Archbishop Christodoulos described his meeting with President Clerides "significant and interesting", noting that the Cypriot President was dedicated to finding a solution to the Cyprus problem, which would be in the interests of the Cyprus people. CNA/MK/RG/MM/2001 2105:CYPPRESS:06[06] Presidents of Cyprus and Greece - Formal DinnerAthens, May 2 (CNA) - Greek President Constantinos Stephanopoulos tonight reassured his Cypriot counterpart Glafcos Clerides that the whole of the political leadership in Greece would make every effort to contribute to the struggle for a free and independent Cyprus, and noted that after the parliamentary elections of May 27 in Cyprus, the international community is expected to make moves towards a permanent solution.Speaking at a formal dinner, hosted in Athens in honour of President Clerides who is paying an official visit to Greece, Stephanopoulos said that Greece would "continue to provide every contribution and support to Cyprus, fulfilling its moral, political and contractual obligations towards the Republic of Cyprus", adding that the joint defence pact between the two countries was a "top national priority" for Greece. CNA/MK/RG/MM/2001 1015:CYPPRESS:07[07] Cyprus problem - UN-led talksby Maria Koniotou Athens, May 2 (CNA) - As the US and Britain appear to be focusing their efforts on convincing Turkey to urge Turkish Cypriot leader Rauf Denktash to return to the negotiating table for talks on the Cyprus problem under UN auspices, Turkey's political leadership seems to be planning to do just that around the end of the year, when Cyprus' EU accession course will be approaching its conclusion, so as to pose obstacles in finalising the accession process.Diplomatic sources have said this eventuality was discussed today in Athens between the political leaderships of Greece and Cyprus, along with a possible delay of the EU enlargement process, due to the slow progress of one candidate country and the preference of certain EU member states to see ten of the candidate countries joining at the same time, something that would place enlargement around the year 2003.
