[01] SPOKESMAN - G/C LANDIncreasing difficulties in the solution of the Cyprus issue and especially the territorial aspect are being created due to the selling of land in the Turkish occupied north of Cyprus, according to the government.Government Spokesman Stephanos Stephanou pointed out that there are court decisions which note how unacceptable this phenomenon is. Invited to comment on Sunday reports on the sale of 1,280 acres of land in occupied Karpass peninsula for 15,500,00 sterling, Stephanou said the embezzlement of Greek Cypriot land in the occupied areas is an unacceptable phenomenon, an intolerable act and for this there are court precedents. Imagine when this action takes place in the background of a negotiation which aspires to lead to a solution of the Cyprus issue, he added.
