[01] TINY KOX - CYPRUS QUESTION
Member of the Senate of the States General of the Netherlands and
Chairperson of the Unified European Left Group in the Parliamentary
Assembly of the Council of Europe, Tiny Kox, has said that ``a peaceful
and sustainable solution to the Cyprus problem is a solution to a
European problem.``
In a message sent to the symposium organised by leftwing AKEL political
party on ``EU and the Cyprus problem``, Kox says he supports the
reunification of Cyprus ``because peace and prosperity demand a united
country and a united people instead of an artificial two state solution
and a split community.``
He expresses his opposition to the Turkish occupation ``because the
illegal occupation of part of your country by Turkish military is
against the interests of both Greek and Turkish Cypriots, against
resolutions of the United Nations, against international law and
against the ideals and values of the Council of Europe,`` and to the
partition of the island ``because the state of Cyprus was illegally and
by force divided by foreign interventions, against the will and against
the interests of the Cypriot people.``
