[01] Bicommunal youth groups - Panel discussion
Nicosia, Sep 22 (CNA) -- Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot youth groups are
meeting Sunday in the mixed village of Pyla, bordering the Turkish occupied
areas of Cyprus, to reiterate their opposition to violence and send once
again the message that Cypriots from the island's two communities can and
should live together in peace, one of tomorrow's organizers Nicos
Anastasiou has told CNA.
"Panelists include a Greek Cypriot professor who will speak about the human
and social aspects of the Cyprus question, a Greek Cypriot journalist who
will tackle the political side of the problem and two Turkish Cypriots, an
educator and an outspoken critic of the occupation regime," Anastasiou
said.
