    Cypriot Foreign Minister addresses conference in Turkey

    by Maria Myles

    Constantinople, Feb 12 (CNA) -- Cyprus Foreign Minister Ioannis Kasoulides has called on mankind to put a halt to those using diversity to justify conflict, pointing out that dialogue can transcend discord, harmonise human relations and solve differences as well as sow the seeds of a culture of peace, but recognised that in many parts of the world there is systematic and atrocious violations of human rights.

    In his address to the joint forum of the Organisation of the Islamic Conference and the European Union, which got underway here today, the minister said Cyprus is a vivid example of a melting pot of civilisations and has an important role to play linking cultures, adding that dialogue is imperative among nations if human relations and differences are to be solved.
