		The appearance in Cyprus and Ugarit of amphorid craters of a type which is particular to Mycenaean centres of Western Asia Minor (e.g., Miletus), should receive more attention; it may provide corroborating evidence for the establishment of the route taken by the Mycenaean refugees who reached Cyprus c.

	American Hellenic Institute 1999 Press Releases
		Henry Kissinger's chapter on Cyprus in Years of Renewal is a transparent attempt to cover-up his violation of U.S. laws, his incompetence in dealing with the Cyprus problem in 1974, and his responsibility for the Cyprus tragedy.

	Congressman Mike Bilirakis: Press Release
		The Annan plan sets complicated and restrictive provisions regarding the right of Greek-Cypriot refugees to return to their homes in the north.
		On the issue of property rights, the Annan plan allows for one-third restitution and two-thirds compensation for property owned in the north by Greek-Cypriots who will be losing the use of their properties.
		If the plan is voted down, it would be an indication that the Greek-Cypriots, whose country suffered an illegal invasion in 1974, and a community which has for three decades advocated for a settlement, felt that they would be giving up far more than they would be gaining.

		The Greek Cabinet will discuss it today and the government hopes that a climate of consensus here and in Cyprus will prevent dramatic denunciations of the proposal by the more «patriotic» members of the ruling PASOK party.
