    [02] Spokesman - European Court - Turkey

    Nicosia, May 14 (CNA) -- The Cyprus government has called on the Turkish side to reconsider its stance with regard to last week's European Court judgment that condemned Turkey of gross human rights violations in Cyprus, pointing out that nobody has so far evaded international law and order for too long.

    Government Spokesman Michalis Papapetrou said the government expects the UN and other interested parties in the Cyprus question to act in line with the said Court ruling, noting however that UN approaches on a Cyprus settlement are within the spirit of UN resolutions, that provide for a bizonal, bicommunal federation, and of respect for human rights.
