The two-day Euro-Mediterranean meeting of Left Parties, hosted by

two resolutions, regarding the Cyprus problem and the Palestinian
question, with special reference to the formation of a Palestinian
national unity government between Hamas and Fatah.
In statements after the meeting, AKEL Spokesman Antros Kyprianou said
the Nicosia meeting agreed on setting up a committee which will prepare
the next Euro-Mediterranean Meeting of Left Parties.
According to Kyprianou, the two-day meeting focused ``on the Cyprus
problem, the situation in Iraq, four years after the US-led coalition
invasion, the Palestinian issue and the threats expressed by the US
against Iran, giving special emphasis on the causes which lie behind
the efforts of the United States and their allies to control the
region``
On Cyprus, the left parties reaffirm their support to a bizonal,
bicommunal federation on the basis of international law, UN resolutions
on Cyprus and the acquis communautaire, considering that the solution
of the Cyprus problem should safeguard human rights and fundamental
freedoms.
