EU, US affirms Republic's sole right to explore coastal shores
Both the European Union and the United States of America have affirmed the legality of the actions of the Republic of Cyprus regarding oil exploration off its coast and its a further blow to Turkey's attempts to share in the possible wind-fall that may accrue to the Republic."

Turkey's prevention of religious meeting shows its true face
"Although the meeting was to be a purely religious one, Turkey's denial of permission of the visit of the new Greek-Orthodox Archbishop of Cyprus, Chrysostomos, to Istanbul to meet with the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople, Bartholomew I, shows once again how Turkey's anti-Cyprus policy manifests itself."

French ambassador calls for fulfilling of July 8 Cyprus agreement
London-"Two recent events highlight the importance of the July 8, 2006, Agreement, which Turkey and the leaders of the Turkish Cypriots have yet to begin to implement," said Theo Theodorou, spokesman for Lobby for Cyprus. The first, he said, is the hope expressed by Cyprus President Tassos Papadopoulos that Ankara and the Turkish Cypriots will at long last cooperate in implementing the Agreement, and the second was the call to that effect by French Ambassador Nicolas Galey, as he presented his credentials to President Papadopoulos, recently.

London--"The latest figures from Nicosia give the lie, once again, to Turkish claims that the people living in the illegally-occupied north of the island, are isolated," declared Theo Theodorou, a spokesman for Lobby for Cyprus.

Turkey destroying Christian heritage of Cyprus, two reports charge
London--"The cultural destruction of not only Greek Orthodox churches in Cyprus but also churches of the Church of Rome as well as churches belonging to Maronites and the Armenians in the occupied north of Cyprus is further evidence that Turkey wants to eliminate all traces of the Christians so as to establish the view that Cyprus has always been a divided island," said Theo Theodorou, spokesman for Lobby of Cyprus, following reports from the Vatican and the Onassis Foundation.

London--"Although the Republic of Cyprus is contributing to the implementation of the July 8, 2006, UN-brokered, agreement paving the way towards a political settlement of the divided island," said Theo Theodorou, spokesman for Lobby for Cyprus, "it would appear that the only consideration of the Turkish Cypriots and of Turkey is to give credence and status to the illegal regime in the Turkish-occupied part of the island."

Refugee's property title in occupied Cyprus again upheld by Human Rights Court
London--"Potential buyers of property in the illegally occupied north of Cyprus have yet another reason to reconsider," said Theo Theodorou, spokesman for Lobby for Cyprus, following the award of €885,000 (£600,000) to a Greek Cypriot woman because she has been denied access to her property in Famagusta.

Republic's economic projects seek to unite divided Cyprus
London--"A series of measures by the Republic of Cyprus to further improve economic development and cooperation between Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots, in a bid to boost the local economy and help the reunification of the country, renders completely false any Turkish claims that the people in the occupied north are 'isolated,'" said Theo Theodorou, spokesman for Lobby for Cyprus.

European Court of Human Rights agrees to hear case of murdered Cypriot
London--“His murder by the Turks was ten years ago, but it is still fresh in the minds of all believers in human rights,” said Lobby for Cyprus spokesman Nick Kounoupias, referring to the recent decision by the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) to hear the case of the death of Tassos Isaak which occurred on 11 August, 1996.

Orams v Apostolides case
To begin with it should be noted that the Appeal was not against the ruling on the substantive issues, which have been left untouched by the High Court decision. The High Court confirmed that the Orams were trespassers on the land of Mr Apostolides and that he, and certainly not they, remained the legal owners of the property. This is extremely significant since it is the first time that an English Court has recognised the illegality of so called property sales of Greek Cypriot property to foreign nationals in the occupied area of Cyprus.

Meeting with FCO useful but obvious bias remains
London--Although it was obvious that representatives of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office were repeating the policy dictated to it by Ankara, at a recent meeting with a Lobby for Cyprus delegation, Lobby feels that the meeting was productive because the FCO learned, among other facts, that some of its positions are on weak ground – if not outright wrong.
