Foreign Minister: right to appeal against Turkey safeguarded

Larnaca, May 23 (CNA) -- Cyprus Foreign Minister George Iacovou has said that Turkey cannot take away from Greek Cypriots the right to appeal to the European Court of Human Rights to claim their properties, in the areas of Cyprus under Turkish occupation since 1974.

He also said that given the unwillingness of the Turkish side to return to the negotiating table, at present there is no particular reason to press for the resumption of negotiations on the Cyprus question.

EU Commissioner tells Denktash ''it takes two to tango''

Nicosia, May 23 (CNA) - It takes two to tango, Greek European Commissioner for Employment and Social Affairs Anna Diamantopoulou said here today, commenting on Turkish Cypriot leader Rauf Denktash's rejection of the measures the EU intends to announce in support of Turkish Cypriots next month.

She stressed that if there is complete refusal to cooperate, the EU will not be able to enforce funding or implement programmes in some areas.

Speaking at a press conference in Nicosia, Diamantopoulou pointed out there is only one scenario for Cyprus, the scenario of the accession of the Republic of Cyprus to the EU and the gradual solution of the Cyprus problem, in the logic of one state, where everyone will have equal rights, noting that ''any other plans that the Turkish Cypriot community can become a member of the EU through Turkey has no legal foundation and has been completely rejected by the EU''.
