    Northern Cyprus Greek community threatens flights to Garabagh

    Assa-Irada, Azerbaijan
    July 19 2005

    Baku, July 18, AssA-Irada -- The Greek community of Northern Cyprus
    has threatened Baku with starting direct flights to Upper Garabagh.

    President of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus Mehmet Ali
    Talat did not take the statement seriously. "I am confident that
    these threats will not materialize", he said.

    Turkish media quoted Talat as saying that Azerbaijan's steps at forging
    ties with the Northern Cyprus will help extricate the Turkish community
    of the republic from isolation.

    A group of Azeri parliament members are currently visiting the capital
    of Northern Cyprus Lefkosha. Along with cooperation prospects, they
    have discussed with President Talat opening a direct flight between
    Baku and Lefkosha.

    Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan told a news briefing prior
    to leaving for Russia on Sunday that Azerbaijan's plan to forge ties
    with Northern Cyprus 'de facto implies recognition of the Republic'. "I
    hope Azerbaijan will continue its steps in this direction", he added.*
