[01] SPOKESMAN - DIRECT TRADE

In statements after a meeting of the Council of Ministers, Pashiardis noted that the government consults with its European partners for the solution of this issue ``aiming at the financial assistance of the Turkish Cypriots as legal citizens of the Republic of Cyprus.``

Invited to comment on yesterday`s statements by German Minister of Foreign Affairs Frank-Walter Steinmeier, Pashiardis said that the government does not attribute any political dimension to Steinmeier`s reference to a ``Northern Cyprus.``

``We do not have any doubt that the German Minister`s specific reference is a mere geographical definition with no political implications whatsoever,`` Pashiardis noted.
