    Schwimmer: Council can help contribute to implement UN plan

    by Maria Myles

    Nicosia, Jul 29 (CNA) -- The Secretary General of the Council of Europe Walter Schwimmer has said the Council is willing to contribute to the implementation of a UN peace plan for a comprehensive settlement in Cyprus and warned against returning to ''square one'' in the negotiations, stressing that the window of opportunity for a solution will remain open until May 2004, when Cyprus joins the European Union.

    In an interview with CNA, he said the European Court of Human Rights is evaluating all new facts with regard to the possibility of accepting as domestic remedies so-called courts, set up in Turkish occupied Cyprus by the Turkish Cypriot illegal regime of Rauf Denktash.

    Schwimmer has warned Turkey that compliance with the principles of the Council and Court rulings is a factor it needs to take seriously into consideration, if it wishes to see its European aspirations progress.

    Famagusta Municipality hands resolution to UN, EU

    Nicosia, Jul 29 (CNA) Famagusta Municipality called on the international community to take concerted action against Turkey and demand the withdrawal of Turkish occupation troops from Cyprus and a solution based on the UN decisions and resolutions.

    In a resolution handed to the embassies of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council, a representative of the United Nations Peacekeeping Forces in Cyprus and the Head of the European Commission's delegation in Cyprus, the Famagusta Municipality notes that Turkey is violating the principles of the UN Charter, its resolutions and decisions, the international law and European Convention on Human Rights by denying the people of Famagusta their basic human rights and democratic freedoms totally unchallenged.

    It further notes that a great part of the city remains enclaved, surrounded by barbed wire for 29 years, wearing down to the level of complete destruction as a result.
