Greek Minister of Foreign Affairs Dora Bakoyiannis will discuss on
Tuesday with British Minister for Europe Geoffrey Hoon the latest
developments in the Cyprus problem, as well as Turkey`s European
course.
They will also discuss other issues of international concern that will
be the focus of this month`s United Nations discussions, since Greece
holds the monthly rotating presidency of the UN Security Council.
[02] HELIOS - INQUIRY
Seven incidents concerning problems in the function of the Helios
airways plane that crashed a year ago near Athens, killing all 121
people on board, mostly Cypriots, had been reported from the time of
the aircraft`s registration until its fatal flight.
This was stated on Monday before the Commission of Inquiry that is
looking into the causes of the air crash, by witness Marios Pantelis,
consultant inspector of airworthiness at the Cypriot Department of
Civil Aviation.
Pantelis told the President of the Commission Panayiotis Kallis that
seven incidents had happened since the aircraft`s registration until
its final flight, one of which concerns technical failure.
``These incidents are similar to the ones that occurred in other Helios
airplanes and other airlines` aircraft,`` Pantelis said.
