    US and Russian Presidents congratulate Cyprus on Independence Day

    Nicosia, Oct 7 (CNA) -- US and Russian Presidents, George Bush and Vladimir Putin, have sent messages of congratulations to Cyprus President Tassos Papadopoulos on the occasion of the anniversary of Cyprus' Independence, October 1st.

    Extending his warmest greetings to Papadopoulos and the people of Cyprus, Bush said ''the American people join me in welcoming the occasion and reaffirming their strong bonds of friendship that exist between our countries.''

    ''Please accept my best wishes to you and the people of Cyprus for the year ahead. May it be a year filled with peace and prosperity as we work toward a reunited Cyprus in the future,'' he added.

    In his letter Putin said ''our countries are bound with solid traditions of friendship and effective cooperation on various issues. I am confident that in the future as well the feelings of deep sympathy will continue to be a reliable basis for even closer and more constructive interaction between Russia and Cyprus for the benefit of strengthening peace and security on the European continent and in the region of the Eastern Mediterranean.''

    US House Subcommittee rejects resolution on Cyprus

    by Apostolis Zoupaniotis

    New York, Oct 7 (CNA) -- US Congressman Mike Bilirakis, Co-Chairman of the Hellenic Caucus, has welcomed the rejection of a House resolution, encouraging the international legitimisation of the Turkish Cypriot puppet regime in the Turkish-occupied northern part of Cyprus.

    The resolution lauded the Turkish-Cypriot community for voting to support the Annan Plan for re-unification, and by implication, disparaged the Greek-Cypriot community for voting against the plan. The resolution also encouraged the international legitimization of the Turkish-Cypriot political entity in northern Cyprus, and held out hope for the Turkish-Cypriot community's eventual membership within the European Union.

    Cyprus: Commission recommendation on Turkey ''good basis'' to work

    Nicosia, Oct 7 (CNA) -- The Cyprus government has described as ''a good basis to build on'' a recommendation by the European Commission to begin accession negotiations with Turkey, pointing out that Nicosia does not wish to raise obstacles to Turkey's membership talks.

    Government Spokesman Kypros Chrysostomides said today that there is time between now and the EU December summit, which will decide on whether membership talks would start or not, to see to it that certain basic issues that concern Cyprus are taken into consideration.

    ''There is now a framework and a process within which our side can move in order to make the most of existing possibilities and those that may arise towards achieving our objectives,'' the spokesman said, commenting on the recommendation.

    He said the government has not decided yet about the stance it will take at the December summit but stressed that there is a specific line of thought aimed at safeguarding the fundamental issues within the EU.
