[01] House President - Cyprus problem
Nicosia, Aug 19 (CNA) -- House President Demetris Christofias said today
that a solution to the Cyprus problem based on a bizonal, bicommunal
federation should lead to a unified state and rule out any form of division,
secession or integration with another country.
Speaking at a memorial service, for those killed during the Turkish
invasion of Cyprus in 1974, held within the framework of "The Cyprus Week"
events in Greece, where he is paying a three-day visit, Christofias said
Cyprus will not submit to blackmailing dilemmas in view of its accession to
the European Union adding the people of Cyprus will not accept any drafts
on a solution that would aim at combining federation and confederation.

[02] House President - Cultural heritage
Nicosia, Aug 19 (CNA) -- The international community is duty-bound to help
preserve Cyprus' cultural heritage in the occupied by Turkish troops area
of Cyprus, House President Demetris Christofias said today.
Speaking at the inauguration ceremony of a photographic exhibition on the
destruction of Cyprus' cultural heritage in the occupied areas of the
island, held today in Greece where he is paying a three-day visit,
Christofias said the House of Representatives has repeatedly brought the
issue up in several international fora, "only to gain very little from this
effort."
