[01] HOUSE PRESIDENT - CYPRUS QUESTION
At this stage of the direct negotiating process between the leaders of
the two communities in Cyprus, the Turkish Cypriot side is raising a
series of positions that are worse than those before 2004, House
President Marios Garoyian has said.
Speaking at the funeral of Leontios Costi, killed during the 1974
Turkish invasion of Cyprus, and whose remains have been recently
exhumed and identified through the DNA method, he said that the Turkish
side is testing our endurance and resistance and aims to create
conditions for the isolation of the people.
We do not accept nor do we deserve to be the last Greek generation in
Cyprus. We will never accept a solution, in which our future will be
uncertain and insecure in our homeland, he pointed out.
[02] AGRICULTURE MINISTER - WATER CUTS
The latest rainfall in Cyprus and anticipated rain will allow the
government to handle the deadlines it has set much easier, as far as
water management is concerned, Agriculture, Natural Resources and the
Environment Minister Michalis Polinikis has said.
He noted however that it is too early to decide on final measures and
whether these will be corrective or whether the Ministry will continue
with the water cuts now in place.
