[03] Spokesman - Turkey - Letter
Nicosia, May 29 (CNA) - The government believes the only thing that could
halt Cyprus' European Union (EU) accession course is omissions and mistakes
on the part of the Republic, Spokesman Michalis Papapetrou has said, adding
that the government will continue working in a way that will facilitate the
accession process.
The Spokesman also said a letter Ankara is said to have sent to European
Union member-states, urging them to suspend EU enlargement, reflects
Turkish policy.

[04] Elections - New Deputies
Nicosia, May 29 (CNA) -The composition of the eighth House of
Representatives, since Cyprus gained its independence in 1960, is
illustrated by many changes and surprises since many deputies did not
manage to be re-elected while almost half of the 56th seat parliament is
made up of new deputies.
A total of 24 new deputies were elected while 12 former deputies did not
seek re-election and another 12 did not manage to be re-elected.

of Representatives, Kyprianou stressed the next few years will be very
decisive for the island's future and noted that the House has a very

[06] Spokesman - Interior Minister - Elections
Nicosia, May 29 (CNA) - The government does not consider the outcome of
Sunday's parliamentary elections as a change of the political scene nor
does it interpret it as a disapproval of its policies, its Spokesman
Michalis Papapetrou said here today, commenting on the election result that
gave the main opposition AKEL party a very narrow lead over the ruling
Democratic Rally (DISI).
Commenting on the election procedure, which experienced a four-hour delay
in the announcement of results, Interior Minister Christodoulos
Christodoulou said he has ordered an inquiry into the matter, but stressed
that the elections were conducted in an orderly and democratic manner that
ensures objectivity.

parliamentary committee on foreign affairs and will be put before the
plenary session of the European Parliament in June.

Budapest, May 29 (CNA) - Greece will continue to promote its national
interests and the accession of Cyprus to the European Union, with or
without a prior solution of the political question, the country's Foreign
Minister George Papandreou said here today.
Speaking on the sidelines of the NATO ministerial meeting, he said Turkey
and Turkish Cypriot leader Rauf Denktash will continue to react as long as
Cyprus' accession is getting closer to realisation.

Nicosia, May 29 (CNA) - President of Social Democrats Movement (KISOS),
Vassos Lyssarides, announced here Tuesday he is undertaking responsibility
for his party's failure at Sunday's parliamentary elections and will quit
from the leadership during its next congress.
Lyssarides told journalists his resignation does not mean he will give up
his parliamentary seat, which he intends to retain. He did not rule out the
possibility of seeking the presidency of the House, if other parliamentary
parties make such a proposition to him.
