[01] Dutch State Secretary - Cyprus' EU course
Nicosia, Feb 20 (CNA) - Cyprus is among the front-runners in the process of
the harmonisation with the acquis communautaire but still much has to be
done, Dutch State Secretary for foreign affairs Dick Benschop said here
today after meeting George Vassiliou, Head of the negotiating team of
Cyprus for the accession to the EU.
Vassiliou said he briefed the Dutch official on developments concerning
Cyprus' progress at the membership negotiations and the efforts to keep the
Turkish Cypriot community informed as to what is happening in Europe as
well as for the efforts to reach a solution to the Cyprus problem.

[03] Cyprus - Turkey - Crisis
Nicosia, Feb 20 (CNA) -- The Cyprus government believes it is premature to
draw any conclusions about the situation in Turkey but considers that it
would be simplistic to assume that the crisis between the Turkish premier
and president is a personal confrontation.
"It is too early for anybody to analyse the situation and come to some
conclusions about what lies behind the political crisis in Turkey,"
Michalis Papapetrou, Government Spokesman, said here today, invited by the
press to comment on developments in Turkey, which continues to occupy 37
per cent of Cyprus' territory since its troops invaded in 1974.
