[01] Turkey's objectives must be halted, House President says
The Greek Cypriot community must show decisive resistance to counteract
Turkey's long-standing objective to legalise the occupation of Cyprus'
northern areas, House President Yiannakis Omirou said Sunday.
"We have an historic duty, an imperative need to secure the survival of
our people and our country and fight against Turkish expansionism," he
said, in a speech at a memorial service for two heroes who gave their
lives for their country during the 1974 Turkish invasion. Cyprus,
he pointed out, cannot afford to ignore existing dangers nor can it
discount Ankara's threats, adding that Turkey has not only maintained
its intransigent stance but it has escalated its provocative approach.
