[04] Union of Cyprus Journalists - Bomb Attack - Occupied Cyprus
Nicosia, May 24 (CNA) -- The Union of Cyprus Journalists has strongly
condemned today's bomb attack against a Turkish Cypriot opposition daily in
the island's northern Turkish occupied areas and has asked for the
intervention of the UN and other international bodies with a view to
safeguard freedom of expression and human rights among the Turkish Cypriot
community.
In a written statement the Union also said that the attack aims at muzzling
those Turkish Cypriots who are working to reunite Cyprus, divided since the
1974 Turkish invasion of the island, and who oppose the illegal Turkish
Cypriot regime, backed by Turkey.

[05] Foreign Minister - "Avrupa" - Occupied areas
Nicosia, May 24 (CNA) -- Cyprus Foreign Minister Ioannis Kasoulides has
expressed regret and concern over a bomb attack against Turkish Cypriot
opposition daily "Avrupa" in the island's northern Turkish occupied areas,
in the early hours today.
Speaking at a press conference, Kasoulides also said the collapse of the
illegal government in the areas of Cyprus occupied by Turkey since 1974
will only reinforce the Turkish side's intransigence in the UN-led effort
for a settlement on the island.
