[A] NEWS ITEMS
[01] TROOP REDUCTION 'ILLOGICAL'
"It is illogical for Clerides, who has renounced the idea of the S-300
missiles, to ask the Turkish side to reduce its troops. It is a crime to
deploy the missiles, and the criminal cannot be rewarded for deciding not
to commit the crime. The Turkish troops are on the island because of the
occupationist government in the south, which claims to be the government of
the whole of Cyprus; because of the Greek Government which supports it; and
because of the continuing threat".
According to illegal Bayrak radio (17.1.99) the above statement was made by
Denktash addressing "new recruits of the Security Forces".
He said that the two states can reach an agreement if the opposite side
recognizes the existence of a Turkish Cypriot people in Cyprus, their own
efforts to annihilate this people, their miscalculations, and the
realities. In this way, Denktash added, the problem can be solved.
