[03] Foreign Minister - Funeral - Exhumed 1974 remains
Nicosia, Jun 30 (CNA) -- Kaliopi Avraam, an elderly lady who was killed
with Greek officers serving in Cyprus during the 1974 Turkish invasion of
the island, was finally laid to rest today and tributes poured in for her
courage and love for the young men who were killed with her during the
Turkish offensive.
Foreign Minister Ioannis Kasoulides said Avraam, whom the Greek officers
used to call "our grandmother", was a beacon of courage, pride, honour and
self-denial, noting that she steadfastly refused to leave her house,
bordering a military post, and abandon her adopted children.

[04] President Clerides - Credentials - Brazil - Mexico
Nicosia, Jun 30 (CNA) -- President Glafcos Clerides has said he expects the
Turkish Cypriot side to return to the UN-led talks and show the necessary
will to negotiate honestly and constructively, abandoning its intransigent
positions and demands, with a view to finding a just settlement of the
Cyprus question.
"We believe that now the international circumstances are favourable for a
lasting and viable solution of the problem based on a bizonal, bicommunal
federation and respect for human rights of both the Greek and the Turkish
Cypriot communities," the President added.
