[01] Socialdemocrats: Threats for annexation are directed against the EU
Nicosia, Nov 9 (CNA) -- The repeated statements of Turkish Premier Bulent
Ecevit that Turkey will annex the occupied areas of Cyprus, constitute a
flagrant violation of international law and are directed against the EU
itself and its unanimous decisions, President of Cyprus Socialdemocrats
Movement Yiannakis Omirou stressed in a letter to the President of the
European Socialist Party Robin Cook and to the President of the Socialist
Group in the European Parliament Erique Barn Grespo.
Omirou noted it would be extremely useful if in the Progress Report of the
EU on the "Accession Partnership between Turkey and the EU" which will be
finalized in two weeks, clear reference was made to the lack of political
will on the part of Turkey and its refusal to attend UN-led talks on
Cyprus.|

[02] Clerides:Good idea to meet Denktash once he returns to UN process
by Maria Myles New York, Nov 9 (CNA) - President Glafcos Clerides hopes
that a direct meeting with Turkish Cypriot leader Rauf Denktash, should
this take place, could facilitate the UN peace process and considers that
it would be a very good idea to have a face to face meeting with Denktash,
once he accepts to return to the UN-led peace process.
The President's position is outlined in a reply letter to Denktash, who
conveyed Thursday through the UN Chief of Mission in Cyprus a letter
addressed to "dear Glafcos" and signed "Rauf Denktash", without the use of
any titles.
Clerides' reply was communicated the same day from New York where he is at
present to address on Sunday the UN General Assembly.|
