For Immediate Release: June 24, 2008

Contact: Nikolaos Taneris, New York, Tel. 1-917-699-9935

NEW YORK-- The Cyprus Action Network of America (CANA) applauds today's decision
in the European Court of Human Rights, in the two cases of Cypriot demonstrators
murdered by Turkey's military-occupation forces, CANA remains firm in its
commitment for full justice. The murderers today walk free in Turkish-occupied
Cyprus and Turkey, THEY MUST PAY FOR THEIR CRIMES! WE CANNOT FORGET! WE WILL NOT
FORGET! JUSTICE FOR ISSAK AND SOLOMOU! JUSTICE FOR CYPRUS!

The Online Newspaper of "Romiossini"
European Court today: Turkey is guilty!


Brussels, 24/06/08:- Turkey was today found guilty in the European Court of
Human Rights, in two cases of young Greek Cypriots who were murdered in 1996.

1. Anastasios Isaak was lynched by a mob of Turkish soldiers and Turkish Cypriot
"policemen" and other Turkish and Turkish Cypriot extremists belonging to a
nationalist group called "Grey Wolves". It happened in the buffer zone
separating the turkish army occupied northern part of Cyprus from the southern
part of the island.

2. Solomos Solomou was shot dead at short range, by Turkish soldiers when he
attempted to climb up a turkish flag pole in the buffer zone.

The Court unanimously ruled that Ankara is guilty of violating Article 2 (right
to life) of the European Convention on Human Rights in respect of the killing of
Anastasios Isaak and Solomos Solomou.

The Court also ruled that Turkey is guilty of violating Article 2 in respect of
the failure to conduct an effective investigation into the circumstances in
which Anastasios Isaak and Solomos Solomou were killed.

Under Article 41 (just satisfaction) of the Convention, the Court awarded 80,000
euro to Anastasios Isaak’s widow for pecuniary damage. In respect of
non-pecuniary damage, the Court awarded 35,000 euro each to Anastasios Isaak’s
widow, his parents, and to Solomos Solomou’s father, and also 15,000 euro to
each of Anastasios Isaak’s and Solomos Solomou’s siblings. The applicants in
both cases were also awarded 12,000 for costs and expenses.

The two applications were filed to the Court by the families of Tasos Isaak and
Solomou Solomou, both of whom were murdered by Turkish or Turkish Cypriots
during demonstrations in 1996.

CANA CALLS FOR UNITY ON JULY 20th GRASSROOTS CYPRUS DEMONSTRATION

For Immediate Release: June 23, 2008



Contact: Nikolaos Taneris, New York, Tel. 1-917-699-9935




NEW YORK--On Sunday, July 20 2008, the Cyprus Action Network of America (CANA)–
launches the grass roots “Hands Off Cyprus 2008” Washington DC demonstration in
support of a coordinated national effort to urge Congressional representatives
to bring legislation calling for an end to the Turkish military occupation to a
floor vote. Members of all Hellenic and philhellenic societies and federations,
human rights activists and all people of conscience are invited to participate.



The “Hands Off Cyprus 2008” protest campaign will include the distribution of
hundreds of postcards and t-shirts, and life-sized replica posters for
distribution to passers-bys, pedestrians and members of Congress with slogans
from the demonstration stating “End Turkish Military Occupation in Cyprus”,
“Cypriots Want Their Land Back”, “End Turkish Fascism” and “Turkish troops out
of Cyprus”. Various media correspondents and celebrities will be either covering
or attending, including Hellenic Hip hop artist BZ JAM, and popular Turkish
television documentarian, Barbaras Serdar. Writers, authors and activists
familiar with forced displacement are scheduled to present teach-ins and
lectures in the coming weeks .At least two local progressive news outlets will
be on hand at our demonstration, and we expect coverage from network affiliates.
This year, it is expected that hundreds of activists will attend.



In order to promote awareness of the continuing human rights crisis in Cyprus,
we will need to build the coalitions necessary to tell our story to a wide range
of different people, the “Hands Off Cyprus 2008” campaign also aims to broaden
our community outreach by actively pursuing the participation of non-Hellenic
people who believe in fairness and justice. Diversity is strength, and that is
why CANA strives to include the participation of people from diverse ethnic and
national origins.



We are proud of the experienced Cyprus supporters who led the efforts to bring
justice for Cyprus in the immediate aftermath of the criminal military invasions
of Cyprus initiated by the Turkish government on July 20th 1974, and for many
years since then, for inspiring so many Hellenic-Americans in America to
participate in our political process, many for the first time. This “Hands Off
Cyprus 2008” grass-roots demonstration compliments the extraordinary effort of
those experienced Cyprus supporters who introduce legislations and follow up in
coordination with a vast grass-roots network of concerned Americans, marked by
an annual meeting with key Congressional representatives set close to the date
of July 20th. We must strengthen the grassroots campaign, we must make it more
diverse, and our demonstration is meant to advance our community’s position with
Congress and the White House.



In order to do that, we are going to spend the next days and weeks leading up to
the “Hands Off Cyprus 2008” demonstration working toward one goal: UNITY ON JULY
20th.

Sarkozy calls for new 'Greece-France alliance'

Πηγή: Express.gr 06/06/08-23:34

French President Nicolas Sarkozy arrived on an official visit to Athens on Friday, where he referred to a "new Greece-France alliance" in a head-of-state address to the Greek Parliament, as well as to a series of issues of heightened importance for Greek leadership.
A beaming Sarkozy, among others, first referred to his Thessaloniki-born maternal grandfather, telling a packed Parliament chamber that his late grandfather would have been very proud today to see his grandson return to Greece as a president of France.
In hinting at the main cornerstones of the soon-to-begin French EU presidency, the high-profile French leader cited the problem of illegal immigration in the Union, as well as Paris' proposal for the establishment of a Mediterranean Union.
Additionally, he reiterated his views on Europe-Turkey relations, repeating that France favors a "special relationship" with Ankara that is short of full EU accession.
Ahead of his visit to Beirut, Sarkozy expressed his government's full support for Lebanon's stability, while again calling for a viable two-state solution in the Mideast.
Turning to a sensitive issue for Greece, the president of France said the wall separating Nicosia "must fall", in reference to a fair and viable solution for Cyprus.
Sarkozy also didn't mince his words in supporting Athens' position vis-à-vis the nagging "name dispute" with the landlocked Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM), saying France supports ally Greece and won't change its position.
The French leader arrived in Athens for talks with the state and political leadership of Greece, including President of the Republic Karolos Papoulias and Prime Minister Costas Karamanlis.
Sarkozy was greeted by Foreign Minister Dora Bakoyannis at the Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport of Athens, laid a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier shortly after his arrival, before delivering an address in Parliament.
In the afternoon, Sarkozy will have talks with Karamanlis at the Maximos Mansion (government headquarters), after which two texts will be signed: a joint declaration by Sarkozy and Karamanlis on defence and security, and a joint declaration by the Greek and French defence ministers in the area of flight training.
Karamanlis and Sarkozy are due to make statements after their meeting.
Bakoyannis is also scheduled to meet in the afternoon with her French counterpart Bernard Kuchner, during which they will sign an additional protocol to the Greek-French agreement on cultural relations.
President Sarkozy and the French delegation are due to depart from Athens early on Saturday morning.

WHERE: Turkish Embassy 2525 Massachusetts Ave., NW, Washington, DC
WHEN: July 20, 2008, Sunday, 2PM-5PM


The Cyprus Action Network of America (CANA) will be demonstrating outside the Turkish Embassy in Washington DC to demand an end to the ongoing criminal Turkish military-occupation or land grab of Cyprus initiated by the Turkish government by sheer, brute military-invasion on July 20, 1974. Hundreds of thousands of Cypriots remain refugees following Turkey’s systematic campaign of rapes, terror, bombings, burnings and forced displacement. Over one thousand missing Cypriots, reportedly used for barbaric scientific experiments by the Turks, remain unaccounted. Turkey is an unrepentant human-rights-abuser and perpetrator of Genocide Against Pontians and Armenians, and today continues its genocidal policies by targeting Cypriot land in a methodical program of ‘Turkification’ by illegal Turkish settlers. Join us on July 20th outside the Turkish Embassy to remind them that even one foreign soldier of occupation in Cyprus is tens of thousands of times too many. Come to Washington DC to reaffirm a commitment for full justice and recognition for Turkey’s Crimes.


WE CANNOT FORGET! WE WILL NOT FORGET!Our action is open to any and all who believe the time has come to draw public attention to the evil of the continuing Turkish crimes.Get involved!

British and U.S. Responsibility for Turkey’s Aggression in Cyprus
By Gene Rossides

May 21, 2008

I have long written about the British and U.S. responsibility for Turkey’s aggression in Cyprus, and the tragedies that have befallen Cyprus since the 1950’s. I have documented Britain’s irresponsibility in bringing Turkey into the picture in the 1950’s when the Cypriots sought self-determination to join with Greece. Turkey had renounced all rights to Cyprus in the Lausanne Treaty of 1923. Britain threatened partition of Cyprus if Archbishop Makarios would not sign the undemocratic London-Zurich agreements of 1959-1960, written by the British, which gave the 18 percent Turkish Cypriot minority veto rights over all major legislative and executive actions.
