    Rice offers condolences to President Papadopoulos - Helios air crash

    Nicosia, Aug 16 (CNA) US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, in a telephone conversation with Cyprus President Tassos Papadopoulos, expressed her condolences and sympathy to the relatives of the victims of the Helios Airways plane crash, near Athens on Sunday, that killed all 121 persons on board.

    She also conveyed to President Papadopoulos, the people of Cyprus and the relatives of the victims the sympathy of US President George Bush at this bitter moment of the loss of so many lives.

    Rice also assured President Papadopoulos that the US administration is ready and willing to grant any assistance required.

    President Papadopoulos expressed his gratitude for Rices expression of support and assured her that the people of Cyprus deeply appreciate the American condolences and expression of support.

    He reiterated the governments determination to fully investigate the cause of the accident as well as the conditions that led to the plane tragedy, and to attribute responsibility, if there is any.

    For this reason, he said, and bearing in mind that the aircraft was made in the US, if it is deemed necessary then the help of independent US experts will be asked.

    Rice reiterated the US willingness to help in anyway possible and said that her country would send an independent expert whenever the Cypriot government makes a relevant request.

    President Papadopoulos thanked Rice for expressing her condolences and for being willing to offer assistance if it is required.
