[03] DEADLINE ON TIMETABLE FOR THE CASE OF THE MISSING IN CYPRUS ENDS

The deadline set by the United Nations on the timetable concerning the presentation of the files of the individuals missing since the turkish invasion in Cyprus ends tomorrow.

The files of those individuals had to be presented to the international organisation's exploratory committee and according to UN Secretary General Dr Boutros Boutros Ghali there will be no deadline extension.

The presentation of the files to the UN exploratory committee was the sole subject of discussion in the meeting that was held in the office of the Prosecutor General in Nicosia.

The meeting was necessary after the latest ultimatum sent to the greek-cypriot side by mr. Ghali calling for the speeding up of the procedure in order to start the investigations on the fate of the missing.

Meanwhile, greek member of the European Parliament with PASOK mr Yiannos Kranidiotis tabled a resolution yesterday during a plenary session of the European Parliament demanding the immediate and unconditional release of a greek-cypriot national guardsman who has been arrested by the turkish occupation forces in early November. Mr. Kranidiotis tabled the resolution on behalf of the European Socialist party group.

[04] DENKTASH IS NOT THE LEADER OF TURKISH-CYPRIOTS, SY BRITISH LABOURS

British Labour party Parliament member Alan Mill stated that his party does not consider mr Rauf Denktash as a leader of the turkish-cypriots, because he was not legally elected, but sees him as representative of the turkish side in the occupied Cyprus.

In statements made after his meeting with acting President of the Cypriot Republic and Parliament Speaker mr. Alexis Galanos, mr. Mill said that the Labour party recognizes only the legally elected cypriot government and refuses to have any ties with the turkish-cypriot "pseudo-state" which characterized as illegal and running counter to international legality.

Called to comment on the fact that 12 years have already passed since the unilateral declaration of the "pseudo-state", mr.Mill said that the celebrations of such an anniversary in the turkish occupied part of Cyprus is "a slap in the face of democracy" while he also added that the only thing that must be remembered is that the illegal occupation of northern Cyprus continues for 21 years.

Mr. Mill stressed that the British Labour party will work with the Cypriot government in all the international organizations for Cyprus' reunification and for achieving its immediate and full membership in the European Union. He also critisized strongly both the US and the british governments accusing them of "deliberately pushing aside the Cyprus problem".
