[02] Kuwait does not accept the foreign occupation in CyprusThe Cyprus - Kuwait Parliamentary Friendship Group, which is currently on an official visit to Cyprus at the invitation of the House of Representatives, had a meeting yesterday with the President of the Foreign Affairs Parliamentary Committee Mr Nicos Anastasiades.During the meeting, Mr Anastasiades briefed the Kuwaiti parliamentarians on the Cyprus problem and the island's EU accession course, stressing that, despite the painful concessions made by the Greek Cypriot side for a just and viable solution of the Cyprus problem, the Turkish side remains intransigent and hardens its position more and more. Characteristic of this stance is the refusal of the Turkish Cypriot leader Mr Denktash, to respond to the United Nations Secretary General's invitation for the resumption of the UN peace talks. The head of the Kuwaiti delegation Mr Mubarak F Al-Duwaila said that the solution of the Cyprus problem must be based on the United Nations resolutions and stressed that his country does not accept the foreign occupation of Cyprus and its consequences. Finally, he expressed the wish that the accession of Cyprus to the European Union would assist in the solution of the Cyprus problem.
