    CYPRUS WELCOMES THE OLYMPIC FLAME
    Archbishop Hergelian and the Armenian community of Nicosia greet the flame
    as it crosses Armenia Avenue at 5:30 p.m.


    July 8, 2004 (CNA/Gibrahayer) - The Olympic Torch has arrived in Cyprus,
    final stop in its long journey back to Athens.

    The plane ''Zeus'', carrying the Olympic Tor ch landed at Paphos
    International airport at 8:30 a.m. where it received a red carpet welcome,
    normally accorded to heads of state. It was then placed on a sailing boat
    just outside Paphos International Airport and arrived at Paphos Harbour an
    hour later where the official celebrations began.

    The Torch then followed a route covering literally all government controlled
    areas of Cyprus, through many communities and past many of the island's
    great landmarks and locations, before arriving at its final destination in
    the centre of Nicosia.

    The Torch arrived in Nicosia at 4:45 p.m. and headed west on Armenia Avenue
    an hour later where hundreds were waiting to get a glimpse of it.

    Archbishop Hergelian greeted the Torch at the entrance of the Armenian
    Prelature where many Armenian Cypriot residents of Armenia Avenue had
    gathered.

    The gathered crowds chanted and app lauded the Olympic Torch Relay
    entourage.

    Ceremonies continued on Thursday night at the Presidential Palace and at
    D'Avila Moat. The relay continued its journey into Larnaca on Friday.



    80-1 OUTSIDERS GREECE WIN EURO 2004

    Nicosia July 7: (Gibrahayer) - 80-1 outsiders Greece, won the Euro 2004
    Football tournament in style, sending an entire nation into an extended
    state of delirium.

    They knocked out host nations Portugal twice, once in the opening game and
    once in the final. They ousted European and world champions France in the
    quarters, broke the winning streak of the Czechs in the semi-finals and
    completed their Hudini act last Sunday against Portugal by 1-0.

    The celebrations across Greece, Cyprus and the entire diaspora are still
    going on and the world remains dumbfounded in front of the
    near-to-impossible achievement.

    On Monday the new European Champions were welcomed by more than three
    million Athenians who took the streets to see their new Gods. In the
    celebrations that followed at the Panathinaikos Stadium, the champions and
    their coach Otto Rehhagel were decorated by the Mayor of Athens, the
    Ministry of Sports and the Greek Orthodox Church of Greece.


    KURDS REARM AND INFILTRATE TURKEY FROM IRAQ

    04/07/2004Â AFP ANKARA - Turkish Kurd rebels hiding in northern Iraq are
    rearming and1,500 of them have crossed into Turkey to engage in violence,
    CNN-Turk television said Sunday, citing an intelligence report.
    According to the report, the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), known
    also as KONGRA-GEL, had purchased weapons worth 1.7 million dollars from
    unknown sources in Iraq, Iran and Armenia in the past year and had
    intensified military training for members in camps in northern Iraq,
    CNN-Turk said on its web site.
    The increased activity was thought to be a preparation for a possible
    military operation against the group by Turkey or the United States, both of
    whom view the PKK as a "terrorist" organization.
    Ankara has repeatedly urged Washington to take action against PKK rebels in
    neighboring northern Iraq since last October, when the two countries agreed
    on an action plan, including military measures, against the PKK.
    Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan repeated the call during talks
    with US President George W. Bush in Ankara last week.
    The Turkish authorities estimate that about 5,000 PKK militants have taken
    refuge in northern Iraq since 1999, when the group announced a unilateral
    truce with the government following a call for peace by its jailed leader,
    Abdullah Ocalan.
    The rebels ended the ceasefire on June 1 this year.
    CNN-Turk quoted the intelligence report as saying that 1,500 armed militants
    had infiltrated Turkey in the past six months.
    The PKK has been blamed for a recent series of deadly attacks on Turkish
    security forces in mainly Kurdish southeast Turkey, bordering northern Iraq,
    including the mining of roads.
    On July 2, officials accused the group of carrying out a car bomb attack on
    a convoy carrying the governor of Van province, which killed three people
    and wounded 25 others.
    The PKK waged a bloody 15-year campaign for self-rule in Turkey's
    predominantly Kurdish southeast between 1984 and 1999. The conflict has
    claimed some 37,000 lives.
    The southeast enjoyed relative calm during the ceasefire period and Ankara
    improved the cultural rights of the Kurdish minority in a bid to boost
    Turkey's chances of being allowed to join the European Union.
