[01] TURKS ASK UN TO EXAMINE REPORTS ON DELIVERY OF S-300 PARTS

Rauf Denktash, "prime minister" Dervis Eroglu, and Serdar Denktash, "state minister and deputy prime minister", met yesterday morning for their routine weekly meeting. In a statement after the 30 minute meeting, Eroglu said that they mainly discussed economic and foreign policy issues. He noted that even though the reports about the delivery of S-300 missile parts to the island have not been confirmed yet, the issue was raised with Gustave Feissel, the UN Secretary General's assistant special envoy in Cyprus, who was asked to investigate the matter.

[02] KENAN EVREN OPPOSES RAPPROCHEMENT OF THE TWO COMMUNITIES IN CYPRUS

Speaking prior to a meeting with Hakki Atun, the so-called Assembly chairman of the pseudo state, Kenan Evren strongly criticised the USA, Britain, and other countries' involvement in the Cyprus problem. "They spoiled the broth" alleged Evren.

In his turn, Atun welcomed Evren and said that regarding the Cyprus problem the Turkish nation is acting in unity and that the Turkish Cypriots, besides acting in line with their own rights and interests, are also acting in the name of Turkism. (MY)

[03] ANTIQUES SMUGGLING IN THE OCCUPIED AREA

The paper says that "police" have arrested four mainland Turks.

The total value of the antique goods confiscated, says the paper, is about one billion 141 million TL (one Cyprus pound equals approximately 250 thousand TL).

In order to facilitate the investigation, Denktash's "court" issued a three days remand order for the four Turks. (MY)

Answering questions put to him by journalists within the framework of the 3rd Greco-Turkish Forum meetings held in Istanbul, Koc said that "these meetings will eventually bring about a settlement to the Cyprus problem, though it will take time".

He said that they are working on the issue of "two countries, a single economy. At the beginning we are taking this as the sole target. After that the countries can become a single one. As is the case in Hong Kong". (MY)
