[01] TURKISH-CYPRIOT AGRICULTURE
MINISTER INVOLVED IN KILLING GREEK-CYPRIOT
Nicosia, September 10 (M.P.A.) Turkish-Cypriot Agriculture Minister Kenan Akin appears to be one of the men who killed Greek-Cypriot Solomos Solomou last month in Deryneia. Cypriot officials recognised the Minister's face in a close-caption analysis of the video footage. Meanwhile, relatives of the Turkish-Cypriot soldier who was shot dead on Sunday on the occupied territory, stated that the Kurdish-origin victim was shot by Turks either because he expressed his opposition to Ankara's military advance in northern Iraq, or to create a provocation. Tansu Ciller, Turkey's Foreign Minister and ex-Premier, will attend the soldier's funeral today in Cyprus.
[02] Cypriot parliament embarks
on international mission
Nicosia, September 10 (M.P.A.) The Cypriot Parliament will embark on an international mission to condemn the Turkish savagery, starting with efforts to "freeze" the funding proposals to Turkey through the European Parliament. The Parliament will also forward a delegation to Peking's Congress of the Interparliamentary Union, where over 700 MPs will be represented, to be followed by delegations that will address the Council of Europe, and travel to the United States and Russia.
Athens 10 September (M.P.A.) The Greek government issued a strong warning to Turkey that there will be a direct Greek reaction if it continues the tactic of gross misinformation. In a statement read by caretaker Minister of Press, Dimitris Konstas Turkish Foreign Minister, Tansu Ciller and the Turkish government are being warned that any attempt to escalate the tension on the occasion of the killing of the Turkish soldier, for which the Cypriot leadership has no responsibility whatsoever, will lead to direct reaction from Greece. In the statement is also stressed that Ms. Ciller must be certain that the international public opinion will not be tricked by an attempt of gross misinformation and ignore the cold-blooded killings of the two Greek-Cypriots. The Greek government also expresses the hope that the Turkish people will realise Ms. Ciller's choice to base her political future on the escalation of tension in the relations between the two countries will have a high political cost for Turkey and the international community. Commenting on the information that the Turkish-Cypriot pseudo-state Agriculture Minister had participated in the killing of greek-cypriot, Solomos Solomou in Derinia, Mr. Konstas stated that if those allegations are proven to be true there will be repercussions both from the Greek side and the international community.
Athens 10 September (M.P.A.) Greek Minister of Defence, Gerasimos Arsenis commenting on the recent shooting incident in the Turkish occupied part of Cyprus, stated that it is the policy of Denktash's pseudo-state to skilfully create a situation of terror in order to bring about a gap between the greek-cypriot and the Turkish-Cypriot societies and lead to the division of the island. Mr. Arsenis stressed that the problem is not between the two communities but stems from Denktash's establishment, the occupation forces and the Turkish settlers in northern Cyprus. Mr. Arsenis added that if the two communities on the island are left alone within the framework of an independent and united Cyprus can jointly face the problems in the country.
Nicosia 10 September (M.P.A.) New evidence and information overturn the Turkish allegations according to which, Greek-Cypriots were involved in the recent shooting incident in Acheritos. Based on new evidence at the disposal of the Cypriot security authorities, access to the Turkish outpost, where the shooting happened, is possible only from the occupied territories, while it can not be reached by car from the free territories. This fact supports the suspicions that the Turkish military vehicle that had approached the outpost just before the shooting and left immediately after, had something to do with the whole incident.
Melbourne 10 September (M.P.A.) The Australian Parliament unanimously approved a resolution calling the Australian Federal government to undertake an international initiative for the solution of the Cyprus problem. Shadow Foreign Minister Mr. Brereton, who tabled the resolution proposal, stressed that Australia must undertake an initiative for the promotion of a solution to the problem of Cyprus within the framework of the UN and the British Commonwealth.

Ciller arrives in occupied Cyprus / LGR reveals dead soldier was
a Kurd Nicosia, Sep 10 (CNA) -- Turkey's Foreign Minister Tansu Ciller arrived in the Turkish-occupied area of Cyprus today to attend the funeral of a Kurdish origin soldier of the Turkish occupation army, who was found dead in an observation post on Sunday morning. Soon after her arrival at the illegal Tympou (Ercan) airport, Ciller expressed Turkey's full support to the Turkish Cypriot community. She was scheduled to give a press conference at the airport before travelling to the Turkish-occupied northern part of Nicosia to meet Turkish Cypriot leader Rauf Denktash. Ciller is accompanied by a nine-member delegation, which includes the Turkish Ministers of Education and Energy and Deputy Foreign Minister Inal Batu. The Turkish Foreign Minister was due to attend the funeral in Nicosia of Allahverdi Kilic, a soldier of the Turkish occupation army, who was found murdered on Sunday morning, in an observation post, on the demarcation line, opposite the British sovereign base area of Ayios Nikolaos, southeast of the capital Nicosia. There are no National Guard soldiers or UN peacekeepers in the area since the territory belongs to the British sovereign base area. The London Greek Radio (LGR) revealed yesterday that the dead soldier was not a Turkish Cypriot as claimed but a Kurd, who was serving with the Turkish occupation army. The revelation was made by a man, who claimed he was a cousin of the murdered soldier. The man, whose name was not revealed, told LGR in broken English that Kilic and the other soldier, who was seriously wounded, were Kurds, who had objected to Turkey's intention to set up a security zone in Northern Iraq. The caller said the families of the two had been taken to the occupied part of Cyprus, soon after the 1974 Turkish invasion and occupation of 37 per cent of this east Mediterranean island's territory, as part of Ankara's designs to change Cyprus' demographic character. The caller told LGR that the attack was carried out by the Turkish military. The Turks had accused the Greek Cypriot side of being responsible for the incident. The governments of Cyprus and Greece have turned down the Turkish allegations and fired back saying that the incident was a ''pre-planned provocative act'' aimed to mislead the world public opinion, following the international outcry against the brutal murders of two unarmed Greek Cypriot youths by Turkish troops and extremists, during peaceful anti-occupation demonstrations, in the UN-controlled buffer zone, in Dherynia, last month. Meanwhile, there is evidence that the two soldiers were not shot in the place where they were found. Greek Cypriots, who live at Brysoulles area, within the British base area, had seen a Turkish military vehicle speeding into the Turkish-occupied northern part of the island. The Turkish military post is only accessible from the northern side. Although the Turks had said the dead soldier received twelve bullets and the injured ten bullets, only eleven cartridge cases were found in the stairs of the observation post. British investigators found only a couple of blood stains in the area. Experts suggest that the Turks had shot the two soldiers at another place and took them to the demarcation line to blame the Greek Cypriots for the killing. Meanwhile, UN Secretary-General's spokesperson Sylvana Foa expressed Boutros Boutros-Ghali's concern over the shooting incident. ''This is clearly a serious incident which needs to be fully investigated by the authorities concerned,'' she said. The spokesperson added that the Secretary-General had asked his Deputy Representative in Cyprus Gustave Feissel to be in touch with the two sides in the island, ''with a view to preventing any action that could raise tension between them''. Ciller's arrival in the Turkish-occupied territory today coincided with the arrival in Cyprus this afternoon of UN Secretary-General's Special Representative on Cyprus Han Sung Joo, for talks with the two sides. Tomorrow, Han is scheduled to meet President Glafcos Clerides in the free areas and Rauf Denktash in the occupied areas. Similar meetings with take place on Friday. During his stay, the former South Korean Foreign Minister will have a series of meetings with the ambassadors of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council and the ambassadors of the European Union member-states as well as with political party leaders.
He will leave on Monday for talks in Greece
and Turkey before flying on to New York.
