[02] SPOKESMAN - UNFICYP - RESOLUTION

``The government is constantly alert. Cyprus` Permanent Representative to the UN, as well as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and its various services, are monitoring the situation and doing all which has to be done in order to secure that which we consider should be secured,`` he added.

The UN reference was in favour of ending what it called "the isolation" of the Turkish Cypriot community, through efforts by the international community. The government of Cyprus maintains that the "isolation" is the direct result of the continuing Turkish occupation of Cyprus` northern part and the division of the country, since 1974, when Turkey invaded.
