the occupied area
According to KIBRIS (7.5.97) Russia's Foreign Ministry has criticized the
visit of a group of Russia's Lower House (Duma) members to the occupied
area.
Russia's Foreign Ministry spokesman Valeri Nesterushkin during a press
conference yesterday, when asked to comment on the issue answered: "This
visit is contrary to Russia's international undertakings".
He added that all the institutions of the Russian Federation should act in
accordance with the international undertakings of Russia. He said that the
deputies in question went to the occupied area without the approval of the
Duma's leadership. Nesterushkin declared: "We believe that it was a
private visit and what they have said represents their own views and is
binding for them only".
Russia's Foreign Ministry Spokesman also said that the UN Secretary-General
will be visiting Moscow next week and during his visit the Cyprus problem
will be discussed as well. (MY)
