    US: Turkish Cypriot vote advances peace in Cyprus

    by Demetris Apokis

    Washington, Dec 16 (CNA) -- The US has welcomed the outcome of Sunday's poll in the Turkish-occupied northern part of Cyprus, saying it advances the cause of peace.

    US State Department spokesman Richard Boucher also said that the Turkish Cypriots have expressed their wish for a political settlement that will allow them to join the European Union with Greek Cypriots.

    Boucher was commenting on Sunday's poll in northern occupied Cyprus that gave over 50 per cent of the vote to those forces that advocate a solution and accession to the EU.

    Brussels, Dec 16 (CNA) -- Cypriots are strong supporters of a common foreign policy and defence policy in Europe, according to an opinion poll the European Union's statistics services Eurostat has conducted among the ten acceding countries and the three candidate countries.
