    TURKISH CYPRIOT EX-LEADER WANTS TO STRENGTHEN TIES WITH AZERBAIJAN

    ANS TV, Baku
    30 Aug 05

    The former president of the unrecognized Turkish Republic of Northern
    Cyprus, Rauf Denktas, has welcomed cooperation between Northern Cyprus
    and Azerbaijan. He said that the purpose of his visit to Azerbaijan
    is to strengthen friendly ties between Azerbaijan and Northern Cyprus.

    In an interview with the "Point of View" programme broadcast jointly
    by the Azerbaijani private TV station ANS and the Turkish Cypriot
    channel Genc TV, Denktas thanked Azerbaijan for supporting Northern
    Cyprus and called for the embargo on the breakaway region to be lifted.

    He welcomed cooperation with Azerbaijani businessmen and said they
    are more interested in developing tourism. At the same time, Denktas
    touched on his meeting with Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, but
    refused to disclose details of the talks. He also said that Greeks
    are not happy about cooperation between Azerbaijan and the Turkish
    Republic of Northern Cyprus and spoke out against linking the problem
    with the Nagornyy Karabakh conflict.
