    [01] Canada - Resolution - Cyprus problem

    Nicosia, Jul 23 (CNA) -- Representatives of the constituent organisations of the Hellenic-Canadian Solidarity Committee for Cyprus in a resolution they adopted yesterday in Montreal asked for the immediate restoration of the human rights of all Cypriots and called on the United Nations to take effective measures for the implementation of UN Security Council resolutions on Cyprus.

    The resolution, to be sent to the UN Secretary-General, all members of the Canadian Parliament and others also asked for the withdrawal of 35.000 Turkish occupation forces and 100.000 illegal Turkish settlers from Cyprus. It said that Cyprus' entry into the European Union should be supported "as this would benefit all Cypriots and serve as a catalyst towards the reunification of Cyprus."

    [02] G8 leaders - Cyprus

    Nicosia, Jul 23 (CNA) -- Leaders of the eight most industrialised countries of the world (G8) have renewed their commitment to support the efforts of the United Nations Secretary-General to find a just and lasting settlement in Cyprus, that protects the fundamental interests of all parties in an undivided Cyprus giving full consideration to relevant UN Security Council resolutions.

    In their statement on regional issues the G8 leaders, who convened in Genoa, Italy, on July 20-22 expressed their full support on the conclusions of the G8 Foreign Ministers, who met in Rome on July 18-19. A paragraph on Cyprus was included in the conclusions and expressed anticipation of renewed efforts by all parties in the Cyprus problem and a prompt resumption of talks for a settlement under the good offices of the UN Secretary-General.

    The paragraph on Cyprus reads: "We recall the Okinawa statement and renew our commitment to support the efforts of the United Nations Secretary General to find a just and lasting settlement that protects the fundamental interests of all parties in an undivided Cyprus giving full consideration to relevant UN Security Council resolutions. We look forward to renewed efforts by all parties and a prompt resumption of talks under the good offices of the UN Secretary General."

    UN-led proximity talks aiming at reaching an overall settlement of the Cyprus problem were interrupted last year when Turkish Cypriot leader Rauf Denktash abandoned the talks, which started in December 1999, declaring them "dead" and demanding recognition of his self-styled regime in the Turkish-occupied part of Cyprus before he returns to the dialogue.

    Cyprus has been divided since 1974 when Turkish troops invaded and occupied 37% of its territory.
