[01] EUROPEAN COMMISSION - T/Cs - FINANCIAL AID
The European Commission took Friday a decision and on Monday will take
a second one, regarding the allocation of the financial aid to the
Turkish Cypriot community of Cyprus, amounting to 139 million Euros.
The Commissions decisions meet fully Nicosia`s goals, since they give
legal form to the conditions set by the EU Council of Ministers.
These conditions are that the allocation of the financial aid will not
lead to the recognition of the so called state in Turkish occupied
northern part of Cyprus, that the Commission will consult with the
Republic of Cyprus as regards the allocation of the money and thirdly
that there should be a special consultation with the Republic of Cyprus
when problems arise during the execution of the projects that have to
do with Greek Cypriot properties in the north.
[02] DEFENCE MINISTER - CYPRUS DEFENCE
Minister of Defence Phivos Klokkaris said that as long as the Turkish
occupation of Cyprus continues and the Cyprus issue remains unresolved,
Cyprus defence should continue to be strengthened.
We should attach great importance to the strengthening of our defence,
as long as occupation continues and the Cyprus problem remains
unsolved. This is important for improving the security feeling among
our people and for enforcing our negotiating position in the prospect
of solving the Cyprus issue, the Minister said.
