[01] GAROYIAN CYPRUS PROBLEMIf a real opportunity to achieve a just, functional and viable solution to the Cyprus problem is found in the direct negotiations between the leaders of the two communities then certainly, it should not to be missed, President of the House of Representatives Marios Garoyian has stressed.Speaking during a memorial service for Christos Tsiartas who was killed in the 1955-59 EOKA struggle against British colonial rule, Garoyian said, inter alia, that ``we very well know that the road to find a just and viable solution is not easy. It has never been.

Garoyian called on the United Nations, the international community and all those who have the means to exert their influence on Turkey to think, behave and act on the basis of the principles of law, human rights and the EU principles and values, cease their impassive behaviour and support the rights of an independent and sovereign state.
