[01] Government committed to a Cyprus settlement, Interior Minister saysThe Cypriot government remains firmly and irrevocably committed to finding a solution to the Cyprus problem on the basis of international law, Minister of the Interior Socratis Hasikos said Friday, stressing that it is up to Turkey to prove that it indeed seeks a just and comprehensive settlement to the problem.Hasikos was the speaker in an event organized by the Committee of Occupied Municipalities to condemn the illegal unilateral declaration of independence of the pseudostate on November 15 1983. The UDI came nine years after the Turkish occupation of Cyprus that resulted in the occupation of 37 per cent of the island`s territory. "The sad anniversary of the UDI in the areas of the Republic under Turkish occupation and the preservation of this form until today manifests Turkey`s continued intransigent stance to comply with the UN Security Council resolutions 541 and 550," he said, describing the 15th of November 1983 as an unfortunate day for refugees and the Republic alike.
