[01] Spokesman - Turkish Cypriots - "Military Court"
Nicosia, Aug 31 (CNA) -- Government Spokesman Michalis Papapetrou said here
today that Turkish Cypriot citizens of the Republic of Cyprus were taken
today to a so-called "military court" in the Turkish occupied areas and
were "charged" with possessing passports of the Republic.
Papapetrou denounced these tactics used by the illegal Turkish Cypriot
regime and expressed the conviction that efforts aiming at alienating
Turkish Cypriots from the Republic will fail.

[04] Spokesman - Denktash - Derogations
Nicosia, Aug 31 (CNA) -- Government Spokesman Michalis Papapetrou has
stressed that the Government will not accept derogations from the acquis
communautaire that would contradict the spirit and the letter of the acquis,
adding that the government believes that the UN Secretary General's oral
remarks, of last November, advocate this position as well.
Papapetrou described as "extreme, provocative and unacceptable" statements
by Turkish Cypriot leader Rauf Denktash that Greek Cypriots should forget
the occupied northern town of Kyrenia and relinquish hopes of returning to
their homes, if a settlement is to be reached.
