[01] Denktash: Cyprus confederation should have one flag

"But this flag should neither mean withdrawing the Turkish nor Greek flag, nor ending the rights of Turkey and Greece on the island", said Rauf Denktash.

Speaking in his meeting with administrators of the "Turkish Cypriot Fighters Association", Denktash said that this is necessary to be considered as one state by the UN. "The two sides will have separate laws and these laws will be valid in entries, exists, and regarding property rights", said Denktash. Denktash claimed that a partnership based on the existence of "states" is in question and this will lead to recognition of the "TRNC".

Denktash alleged that the Greek Cypriots have to move, but the world has to move first and show the "realities" to the Greek Cypriot side for a solution on the island. "Behind the closed doors, people tell TRNC officials that `an agreement will be made on the principle of two states. But you shouldnīt ask for the things you want in the beginning, want them later,ī" Denktash added.

[04] Lack of paper in the occupied area

The article says that although the political authority had decided to "import" paper from the free areas, the military authority rejected the demand.

And consequently the so-called coalition government of the NUP and CRP, who had decided to "import" paper for newspapers from the free areas yesterday morning, drew back in the afternoon.

By the end of the week, there will be no paper to publish the newspapers, the article says.

Furthermore, AVRUPA (23.2.00) reports that the Patriotic Union Movementīs (PUM) "presidential candidate", Arif. H. Tahsin, has sent an open telegram to Turkish Prime Minister Bulent Ecevit for the scandal involving the lack of paper in the occupied area.

He says in the telegram that the civil military officials from Turkey do not recognize the right of Turkish Cypriots to manage themselves and they interfere with the political decisions, as was the case yesterday with the decision to "import" paper from the free areas.
