[01] GREEK PM - CYPRUS - OFFICIAL VISIT
Greece`s new Prime Minister George Papandreou has arrived in Cyprus for

[02] SPOKESMAN - GREEK PM
Government Spokesman Stephanos Stephanou has described an official
visit to Cyprus by the Greek Prime Minister as exceptionally important,
noting this is George Papandreous first official visit abroad. «The
visit takes place at a very critical juncture as we are anticipating
the December landmark, which signals Turkeys assessment by the European
Union, the Spokesman added in his remarks at the annual Radiomarathon
charity event.
The government, he said, will continue to work until December on the
basis of the European Commission progress report on Turkey which notes
that Ankara has not met its obligations, which would promote the
strategic goal of a political settlement in Cyprus. If Turkey does not
fulfill its EU commitments, Nicosia will examine all available options,
at the time, he explained.
We want to see all options that are available to us and at the
appropriate time, together, the political leadership acting in concert
with Greece we shall take our decisions when the time is right,
Stephanou said ahead of Papandreou`s official visit on Monday and
Tuesday.
