[01] US - CYPRUS - SOLUTION
The US continue to back the renewed effort towards a negotiated
political settlement in Cyprus, which would reunite the country,
divided since the 1974 Turkish invasion, according to US Ambassador in
Nicosia Roland Schlicher.
The Ambassador expressed the hope that the positive spirit, displayed
in the past several days, continues and that the negotiating process
gets to the substance of the issue.
We deeply feel that the future of Cyprus is a reunited Cyprus and the
sooner we get to that the better, the Ambassador said, after his first
meeting with the newly appointed Interior Minister Neoklis Sylikiotis.
[02] CYPRUS - ALL STAR GAME
FIBA Europe Secretary General Nar Zanolin said on Monday that Cyprus
and especially AEL basketball team ``has shown not only that it can
play basketball, such as qualifying for the final four, but it has also
great organisational capabilities.``
Speaking at a press conference ahead of Tuesday`s Eurocup All-Star Game
2008, to be held in the coastal town of Limassol, at the Spyros
Kyprianou Arena, Zanolin said ``this is the fourth year in a row that
we have the All-Star in this wonderful city, in this wonderful country,
and each year it is getting better.``
