[01] PRESIDENT - CYPRUS PROBLEM - INTERNATIONAL MEETING
President of the Republic of Cyprus Demetris Christofias noted on
Saturday that the government`s position on an international meeting for
the Cyprus problem, was clear, namely that it would deal with the
international aspects of the problem and would be attended by the five
permanent members of the UN Security Council, the UN Secretary General,
the EU, the two communities in Cyprus, and the Republic of Cyprus.
Speaking at Larnaca Airport before departing for New York, President
Christofias said that in all his meetings there he would elaborate on
his proposals, as a follow up to the letters he has already sent.
``The international meeting will deal with the international aspects of
the Cyprus problem, full stop. This of course for us means the
participation of the Republic of Cyprus, the five permanent members of
the UN, the Secretary General, the EU and the two communities,`` he
added.
President Christofias pointed out that it was imperative that the
Republic of Cyprus was present, because ``it has signed the treaties of
guarantee.``
Cyprus, which joined the EU in 2004, has been divided since 1974, when
Turkey invaded and occupied its northern third.
