ENDS, CYPRUS NEWS AGENCY1635:CYPPRESS:05[05] Foreign Minister - EU enlargementby Maria Koniotou Gothenburg, Jun 15 (CNA) - Cyprus' Foreign Minister Ioannis Kasoulides has suggested that European Union enlargement could take place in stages, if candidate countries set to join in 2004 are not all ready at the time.He also expressed the hope that the EU summit that began today in Gothenburg will send stronger messages with regard to enlargement than those the previous summit had sent from Nice. CNA/MM/RG/2001 ENDS, CYPRUS NEWS AGENCY1800:CYPPRESS:06[06] Greek Prime Minister - EU - Cyprusby Maria Koniotou Gothenburg, Jun15 (CNA) - Greece will use all means at its disposal so that Cyprus will be among the countries that will accede to the European Union during its next enlargement, Greek Prime Minister Costas Simitis has said in the sidelines of the EU Summit that began here today.Speaking at a press conference, Simitis noted that EU enlargement was not reversible and that in the case of Cyprus, Greece was interested to see negotiations intensified in order for them to conclude soon. CNA/MK/RG/2001 ENDS, CYPRUS NEWS AGENCY1910:CYPPRESS:07[07] UN resolution - UNFICYP - CyprusNicosia, Jun 15 (CNA) - The UN Security Council today renewed for a further six- month period the mandate of the UN peacekeeping force in Cyprus (UNFICYP).Resolution 1354 "reaffirms all its resolutions on Cyprus, and in particular resolution 1251 (1999) of June 29, 1999 and subsequent resolutions". The Security Council in its resolution 1251 "reaffirms its position that a Cyprus settlement must be based on a state of Cyprus with a single sovereighty and international personality and a single citizenship, with its independence and territorial integrity safeguarded and comprising two politically equal communities as described in the relevant Security Council resolutions, in a bicommunal and bizonal federation, and that such a settlement must exclude union in whole or in part with any other country or any form of partition or secession." Today's resolution welcomes the report of UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan, dated May 30, 2001, on the UN operation in Cyprus, and "in particular the call to the parties to assess and address the humanitarian issue of missing persons with due urgency and seriousness". It "urges the Turkish Cypriot side and Turkish forces to rescind the restrictions imposed on June 30, 2000, on the operations of UNFICYP, and to restore the military status quo ante at Strovilia". The Turkish occupation forces illegally put up a checkpoint in the southeastern area of Strovilia as part of measures against UNFICYP in retaliation to the non- inclusion of an addendum in a report by UN chief Kofi Annan for an earlier renewal of the Force's mandate with a Turkish demand for separate discussions with UNFICYP. The Security Council notes that "the government of Cyprus has agreed that in view of the prevailing conditions in the island, it is necessary to keep UNFICYP beyond June 15, 2001", and "decides to extend the mandate of UNFICYP for a further period ending December 15, 2001". In its resolution, the Security Council "requests the Secretary-General to submit a report by December 1, 2001, on the implementation of this resolution", and "decides to remain actively seized of the matter". It also welcomes and encourages UN efforts "to sensitise peacekeeping personnel in the prevention and control of HIV/AIDS and other communicable diseases in all its peacekeeping operations". The UN has some 1.200 peacekeepers in Cyprus, who patrol a 180-kilometre- long buffer zone across the island, divided since Turkish troops invaded and occupied 37 percent of its territory in the summer of 1974. Some 200.000 Greek Cypriots, making one third of the island's population were forcibly uprooted from their homes and properties by the Turkish invasion troops. Hundreds of people have been missing since then.
