[01] Government sends message to those who cover Turkey`s intransigence

In statements on Saturday, Stephanou stressed that ``we will not accept that Turkey and Turkish Cypriot leader Dervis Eroglu impose their positions for the creation of two states in Cyprus``.

``We will continue struggling for a solution that will free the country from the Turkish occupation, Turkey`s policy of illegally bringing to the occupied areas illegal immigrants, and we will continue struggling for a solution that will reunify our country and our people on the basis of a bicommunal, bizonal federation, as provided in the relevant UN Security Council resolutions``, he pointed out.

Furthermore, Stephanou said that ``the relevant UN Security Council resolutions on Cyprus should be the basis for all in efforts to reach a solution of the Cyprus problem," adding that "this is our message to all``.

Stephanou condemned the statements made in Turkey by the Turkish Cypriot leader, describing them as ``unacceptable``. He noted that Eroglu, ``who receives instructions from Turkey, repeats the same allegations for the existence of two states in Cyprus`` in an attempt to consolidate the faits accomplis of the Turkish invasion and occupation of Cyprus.

As regards the convention of an international conference on Cyprus, Stephanou said that the recent resolution adopted by the UN Security Council in December clearly states that an international conference can only take place when there is an agreement on the internal aspects of the Cyprus issue and when the two sides agree that the international conference is convened.
