[01] Statement by Government Spokesman on the Kurdish leader's arrest
"The Cyprus Government expresses its solidarity with Greece with regard to
the occupation of the Greek diplomatic Missions in Europe.
It considers that such actions do not serve any cause and hopes that these
will soon come to an end without creating any further problems," Government
Spokesman Christos Stylianides stated this morning.
[02] Russian and US positions converge on Cyprus settlement
Russian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Vladimir Rakhmanin said that a "sincere
and deep exchange of views on the situation in Cyprus proves the coincidence
of Russian and US positions on the solution of this international
problem".
Speaking at a press briefing last Thursday, Mr. Rakhmanin said that after
consultations held last week between Russia's special envoy on Cyprus
Vladimir Chizhov and US State Department's Coordinator on Cyprus Thomas
Miller, the two sides confirmed the need to continue efforts to settle the
conflict in Cyprus under the UN auspices and in compliance with UN Security
Council resolutions and inter - Cypriot agreements signed in 1977 and
1979.
