Cyprus notes Turkish ''fierce reaction'' to EU statement

Nicosia, Sep 22 (CNA) - Cypriot Government Spokesman Kypros Chrysostomides spoke of a ''fierce reaction'' on behalf of Turkey and the Turkish Cypriots to the content of the EU counterstatement in response to a declaration issue by Ankara that it did not recognise the Republic of Cyprus.

''There is a fierce reaction on behalf of Turkey for the counterstatement,'' he said, adding that the counterstatement and Ankara's negotiating framework ''have the same political and legal importance and it is impossible to separate them.''

EP rapporteur says Turkey must implement protocol

Nicosia, Sep 22 (CNA) - European Parliament Dutch rapporteur on Turkey Camiel Eurlings said today that Turkey must fully implement the Ankara Agreement protocol as soon as possible, not at some very late date in the accession negotiations with Turkey.

Eurlings, who is in Cyprus in the framework of preparing a report on the protocol extending Turkey's customs union with the EU to the ten new member states, expressed the regret of the European Popular Party regarding Turkey's declaration that it does not recognise the Republic of Cyprus and described the implementation of the protocol with all member states as of ''utmost importance,'' because ''we say it doesn't only touch Cyprus with Turkey, but it touches the credibility of the EU as such.''

Archaeologists wrap up 2005 excavations in ancient Idalion

Nicosia, Sep 22 (CNA) - Excavations in the Lower City of the ancient city-kingdom of Idalion this year brought to the surface workshops as early as the 13th century BC, as well as limestone female sculptures, lamp fragments and terracotta figurines, while other findings indicate that the occupation of the site of ancient Idalion probably began in the Lower City North in the 15th century BC.

According to the Department of Antiquities, the 2005 season of excavation was carried out by the Lycoming College Expedition to Idalion under the direction of Dr. Pamela Gaber.
