[01] Abducted Greek Cypriot - Spokesman - UK - UN
Nicosia, Jan 2 (CNA) -- The Cyprus government continues to consider Britain
should try and find ways to secure the release of a Greek Cypriot, abducted
from one of two British military bases on the island by Turkish occupation
troops who continues to be illegally detained by the self-styled Turkish
Cypriot regime in the Turkish-occupied part of Cyprus.
Britain has said it continues to coordinate efforts in the case of Panicos
Tziakourmas with the government and the UN, and believes there are options
available which can be considered with regard to any future move.

[04] AHEPA - Albright - Tziakourmas
Nicosia, Jan 2 (CNA) - In a letter to US Secretary of State Madeleine
Albright, President of the American Hellenic Educational Progressive
Association (AHEPA) John Economy demands the immediate release of Greek
Cypriot Panicos Tziakourmas who has been abducted and is being illegally
detained in the Turkish occupied areas of the Republic.
Economy adds that "the abduction of Tziakourmas comes on the heels of what
appears to be a postponement of the sixth round of proximity talks" held
between the Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot communities under the
auspices of the United Nations, "due to the unacceptable demands of Turkish
Cypriot leader Rauf Denktash" for the recognition of his puppet regime.
