[01] CYPRUS FM BILDT CYPRUS ISSUE
Minister of Foreign Affairs Marcos Kyprianou expressed disappointment
on Wednesday over remarks on Tuesday by his Swedish counterpart Carl
Bildt concerning Cyprus.
Kyprianou said it was unacceptable to equate the Turkish invasion and
occupation of Cyprus with the exercising of the democratic right of the
Cypriots in a referendum, as the one in 2004. Speaking at Larnaca
Airport on his return from Brussels, Kyprianou said ``the least I can
say is to express my disappointment over the positions expressed by the
Swedish Minister of Foreign Affairs, an official of an EU member state
and a representative of the presidency.``
``We expect the country holding the presidency to act and express
itself in the framework of community solidarity and based on
international law, legality and EU decisions,`` Kyprianou said.
