[01] CYPRUS PRESIDENT - ERDOGAN`S ILLEGAL VISIT TO CYPRUS
Cyprus President Demetris Christofias has condemned the illegal visit
of Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan to Cyprus areas occupied
by Turkey since 1974.
Speaking during a ceremony for the missing persons in Cyprus,
Christofias said that he denounces the presence of the Turkish Prime
Minister especially during these days that the people of Cyprus feel
deep pain and sorrow for what happened on July 20, 1974, when Turkish
troops invaded and occupied 37% of the islands territory.
Referring to the humanitarian problem of missing persons, Christofias
assured that the settlement of this issue constitutes a top priority
for the Cyprus government. He also expressed hope that developments in
the near future will allow Cyprus to be reunited without occupation
troops, refugees and missing persons.
