    [06] Foreign Minister - Spokesman - Afghan group

    Nicosia, Oct 22 (CNA) -- Cyprus can play a role in various disputes and gain credibility on this count, Foreign Minister Ioannis Kasoulides said here today, commenting on a meeting of Afghans in exile, members of the "Cyprus initiative", at the weekend in preparation of a meeting in Rome of exiled Afghans with the former king of Afghanistan.

    [09] EU enlargement Commissioner - Cyprus

    Brussels, Oct 22 (CNA) -- European Union Commissioner responsible for enlargement Gunter Verheugen has said that EU enlargement would be inconceivable without Cyprus, primarily because of the position adopted by the Greek parliament, according to the German Sunday paper Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung.
