  • [01] PAPADOPOULOS - HELSINKI

    Cyprus President Tassos Papadopoulos held in Helsinki a series of meetings with European leaders, as well as with leaders of countries participating in the Organisation of the Islamic Conference, with whom he discussed the Cyprus problem and Turkey`s non compliance with its EU obligations.

    President Papadopoulos, who attended the 6th Europe - Asia Meeting (ASEM), in the Finnish capital, also held a long meeting with Greek Prime Minister Costas Karamanlis.

    In statements, the President said that Cyprus` efforts now concentrate on convincing its European partners that the European Commission`s progress report on Turkey, to be published this October, should include Turkey`s refusal to meet its EU obligations, in particular the ones concerning Cyprus.

    President Papadopoulos addressed the ASEM Meeting, underlining the importance of intercultural dialogue and cooperation.

    He also expressed regret over the fact that some extremists exploit intercultural differences to create prejudices and promote fabricated crises. ``This reminds us leaders to do more to promote the benefits of dialogue and cooperation,`` he said in his speech.

    President Papadopoulos said that Cyprus has through the years been conveying the message of the importance of maintaining good intercultural and interfaith dialogues.

    He also referred to the ASEM Interfaith Dialogue that took place in the coastal town of Larnaca in Cyprus, two months ago.

    The Larnaca Meeting adopted an action plan on certain steps that need to be taken, in order to promote in practice the dialogue between the different religions.

    The Cypriot President asked from the other participant countries to contribute to the implementation of the Larnaca action plan.

    From Helsinki, President Papadopoulos will head for New York to address the UN General Assembly.
