EXCHANGE OF VIEWS WITH MR MILTIADIS VARVITSIOTIS, ALTERNATE MINISTER OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS OF GREECE, CHAIRMAN OF THE COMMITTEE OF MINISTERS OF THE COUNCIL OF EUROPE Mr Varvitsiotis mentioned the relief felt after the meeting of the Turkish and Greek Foreign Ministers in Bratislava as they decided on the immediate beginning of preliminary talks. Mr Varvitsiotis stated that the announcement of new surveys on the Greek continental shelf at just six and a half miles from Greek shores escalated the situation in the region. This, together with opening of the Varosha seafront, were two signs that occurred during the past few days and violated international law and all relevant UN Security Council resolutions. These actions contravened the latest conclusions of the European Council, which reaffirmed its commitment to a comprehensive settlement of the Cyprus problem within the UN framework in accordance with the relevant UN Security Council Resolutions 550 and 7089.
