    [01] Hillary Clinton - Cyprus problem

    Nicosia, Jul 23 (CNA) -- United States Senator Hillary Clinton has expressed hope that this year's anniversary of the Turkish invasion of Cyprus will be the impetus that will bring all parties together to reach a settlement of the Cyprus problem that meets the fundamental interests of the parties - including real security for all Cypriots and an end to the island's division.

    In an open letter publicised by her Office, Clinton also noted there was no issue that was more important to the citizens of Cyprus and the friends of Cyprus than the resolution of the conflict that divided Cyprus for twenty- seven years. CNA/MK/GP/2001

    [09] Britain - Cyprus - EU

    Nicosia, Jul 23 (CNA) -- Britain believes that discussions at this stage on the possibility of seeing Cyprus joining the European Union as a divided island would be tantamount to showing lack of trust in the UN-led peace process, which aims at finding a comprehensive settlement of the Cyprus question, British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw has said.

    He also pointed out that no third party has a veto over the accession of Cyprus and recalled the EU Helsinki decision that a political settlement would facilitate accession but it is not a precondition for it.
