    Laakso calls for census in occupied areas

    Nicosia, Oct 30 (CNA) Finnish MP and former Rapporteur on the illegal colonisation of the Turkish occupied areas of Cyprus by Turkish settlers Jaakko Laakso said here Thursday Turkish Cypriots are a minority in their own community and that Turkish Cypriot leader Rauf Denktash is using the Turkish settlers to influence the result of the December illegal elections.

    Speaking after meeting Foreign Minister Georgios Iacovou, Laakso, who is visiting the island, also said that as long as Denktash is leading the Turkish Cypriot community, there are no real prospects for a Cyprus settlement.

    Noting that there has been a great change in Cyprus with positive prospects for a solution, Laakso said that as far as the occupied areas are concerned «there is still a great problem regarding their democratisation. Turkish Cypriots are a minority in their own area, and I have unfortunately noticed that Mr. Denktash uses the Turkish settlers to influence the result of the next elections. Of course, this action is contrary to international law, he said.
