[01] SPOKESMAN - CYPRUS - PAKISTAN
The Cyprus government has already made representations concerning the
visit of Turkish Cypriot leader Mehmet Ali Talat to Pakistan, announced
Government Spokesman Christodoulos Pashiardis.
He said the government has assurances from Pakistan that their policy
on the issue of non-recognition of the pseudostate has not changed.
We have no reason to doubt Pakistans assurances, but we have no reason
to doubt the organized effort of the Turkish side for political
upgrading of the illegal regime, the Spokesman added.
He said that if Talat rejoices with such visits and is moved when he is
called president, the fact remains that he is merely the leader of the
Turkish Cypriot community, just as the fact is that Ankara fully
controls the northern part of the Republic of Cyprus and Mr. Talats
role is being determined under the circumstances created by the
invasion and continued military presence of Turkey in the occupied
Cypriot territories.
