National Council: Denktash's decision illegal

Nicosia, Apr 22 (CNA) -- The political leadership unanimously described as ''illegal'' a decision by the self-styled Turkish Cypriot regime to lift most restrictions on the movement of people to and from the island's northern Turkish-occupied areas and the southern government-controlled part of the Republic.

''This decision is illegal, it is an attempt to divert the attention of the international community from the negative stance of the Turkish side with regard to the UN peace effort to find a negotiated settlement. It aims to impress,'' Government Spokesman Kypros Chrisostomides said today after a one-and-a-half-hour long extrordinary meeting of the National Council, the top advisory body to the President on the handling of the Cyprus problem, comprising all eight parliamentary parties.

The Spokesman stressed that international law, international court decisions and UN resolutions branded the Denktash regime ''illegal'' and that the Turkish Cypriot regime is a local subordinate administration to Turkey, which occupies the island's northern third.

He said the government is ready to deal with the situation and pointed out that Cypriot citizens have the right to free movement throughout the territory of the Republic.
