02/05/2003 (Agence Europe) - The main body advising the President of the Republic of Cyprus on the issue of Cyprus, the National Council discussed the consequences of a partial lifting of restrictions on the free movement of Greek and Turkish Cypriots by the "Turkish occupation regime". In a declaration, the National Council stated, "the spontaneous, unprompted and very friendly behaviour of Greek and Turkish Cypriots in their recent contacts and meetings has shown in practice the undisputed possibility and sincere desire of the two communities to live together again and cooperate in a reunited country. The arguments of the occupation regime and Turkey that allegedly the Greek and Turkish Cypriots cannot live together and that the security of the two communities makes necessary the preservation of the dividing wall are refuted and demolished as entirely baseless".
