Cyprus Government Spokesman Daily Briefing, 03-10-22
From: "HR-Net News Distribution Manager" <dist@hri.org>
Daily briefing of the Press by the Government Spokesman
22 October 2003
At the beginning of today's briefing of the press, the Government
Spokesman Mr Kypros Chrysostomides referred to the Turkish Foreign
Ministers visit in Athens and stated that despite the efforts made by
the Foreign Minister of Greece to discuss issues concerning the Cyprus
problem, it was proved that Mr Gul was not ready to talk about such
issues in Athens. This proves once more, Mr Chrysostomides added, how
right the President of the Republic was when he foresaw that Turkey
would not make any gesture during the Turkish Foreign Ministers visit
in Athens. There were rumours that troops would be withdrawn and other
measures would be announced and this is proved to be unfounded, Mr
Chrysostomides said.
The Government Spokesman said that Mr Guls statement that the Cyprus
issue would be solved when all parties concerned were members of the
European Union seemed to be in line with General Ozgioks statements
and, of course, it again proved that the Turkish Government supported
Mr Denktash. It seems that at some point this statement was refuted, Mr
Chrysostomides added, however there is no specific information.
