    [01] President Clerides - Greek Defence Minister

    by Maria Koniotou Athens, May 4 (CNA) - Reductions in Greece's arms acquisition programmes would not affect in any way planning or strategies relating to a joint defence pact between Greece and Cyprus, Greek Defence Minister Akis Tsohatzopoulos said here today.

    Speaking after a meeting with Cyprus President Glafcos Clerides, on a three- day official visit to Greece, Tsohatzopoulos said he was optimistic that the steady and firm policy, adopted by Athens and Nicosia in the past several years, would help achieve Cyprus' accession to the European Union.

    [02] Foreign Minister - US Secretary of State - Comment

    by Maria Koniotou Athens, May 4 (CNA) - Cypriot Foreign Minister Ioannis Kasoulides has said a statement by his US counterpart Colin Powell reflects the wise and composed attitude the Greek Cypriot side had adopted in the UN- led proximity talks, currently in a stalemate.

    The Minister expressed surprise at concerns associates of the US President have made public relating to the prospect of Cyprus' accession to the European Union without a prior solution to the Cyprus question. CNA/MM/RG/2001

    [06] Religious groups - Parliamentary elections - Candidacies

    Nicosia, May 4 (CNA) - Four Maronites, two Armenians and one Latin submitted their candidacies today for the House of Representatives, to be elected as representatives of their respective religious groups. The three deputies to be elected on May 27, one for each group, have the right to attend parliamentary sessions, but have no vote.

    Benito Mantovanni, who was the sole representative of the Latin religious group to submit a candidacy, will be elected representative of the group, if no plea is made by tomorrow. Karapet Kasio Kazanjian and Petros Kalaijian submitted candidacies for the Armenian religious group, while Antonis Hadjiroussos, Ioannis Poyiatzis, Eduardos Hadjihannas and Yiannakis Moussas are cadidates for the Maronite group.

    [07] President Clerides - Return from Athens - Statement

    Larnaca, May 4 (CNA) -- President Glafcos Clerides returned this evening from Athens "fully satisfied" with his talks in the Greek capital, noting that no decisions were taken but many issues were raised and discussed concerning possible eventualities with respect to the island's accession course to the European Union and efforts to settle the Cyprus question.

    Speaking on arrival from Greece, the President predicted that as Cyprus gets closer to EU membership, Turkey is likely to request postponement of the Republic's accession course and express readiness for real negotiation, adding that he did not think the Turkish side would change its tune as far as the resumption of the UN-led peace talks are concerned at this stage.
