    Cypriot President Tassos Papadopoulos is in Athens for a working visit, during which he will have contacts with the Greek political leadership.

    On Tuesday President Papadopoulos will hold consecutive meetings with President of the Hellenic Parliament Demetrios Sioufas, Papoulias and Prime Minister Costas Karamanlis. In the evening he will meet the leaders of Greek political parties.

    On Wednesday, he will visit Artemida community in Zacharo Municipality of Helia District in Greece, which the Cypriot government has undertaken to rebuild after the village suffered extensive damage during summer fires and lost 14 of its 100 inhabitants to the flames.

    Later on in the day, he will meet the leadership of the federation of Cypriots living in Greece.

    President Papadopoulos returns to Cyprus on Thursday.

    In statements, Artemida president George Kossyfas expressed gratitude to Cyprus for undertaking to rebuild the village and grief for the tragic loss of the 14 inhabitants.

    ``We, who stayed behind, will have to get back into our rhythm, but we cannot bring back the children we have lost,`` Kossyfas has told CNA, and said it was positive that Cyprus would be rebuilding the village faster than Greece could.
