[01] CYPRUS - PALESTINIAN GOVERNMENT
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Cyprus ``welcomes
the formation of a Palestinian National Unity Government, considering
it as a positive step towards Palestinian reconciliation.``
In a press release, the Ministry says ``it is essential that the
Palestinian Government engages on a political platform that reflects
the Quartet principles,`` adding that ``Cyprus will carefully assess
the platform and actions of the new government and respond
appropriately.``
The Ministry calls upon the Palestinian National Unity Government to
support President Mahmud Abbas in the political process which aims at
the launch of meaningful negotiations leading to an end to the
occupation that began in 1967 and to the creation of an independent,
democratic and viable Palestinian state, living side by side in peace
and security with Israel.
