[01] British MP - Cyprus
Nicosia, Feb 17 (CNA) -- British Prime Minister Tony Blair appears ready to
raise the Cyprus question at next month's meeting with US President George
Bush, according to British Labour MP Stephen Twigg, who also said Europe
should give full support to a just and viable settlement and to the
promotion of Cyprus' accession course towards the European Union.
The British deputy said Britain is determined to get the Turkish Cypriots
back to the negotiating table and is applying various methods to try and
achieve this goal.

[02] Cyprus - Turkey - European Court
Nicosia, Feb 17 (CNA) -- The Committee of Ministers of the Council of
Europe is set to issue a third interim resolution, in strongly worded
language, to press upon Turkey its contractual obligation to comply with a
European Court of Human Rights decision relating to human rights violations
in Cyprus.
Greek Cypriot lawyer Achilleas Demetriades, who acted on behalf of Titina
Loizidou in the Court case, welcomed the Committee's decision, by majority
vote, but stressed the need to always bring Turkey before its obligations
towards the Court and said the content of the proposed resolution should be
studied very carefully.
