Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot students, members of the non-governmental organisation 'Cyprus Action Network', held a demonstration in front of the UN headquarters building in New York yesterday, calling for the peaceful resolution of the Cyprus problem on the basis of the revised Annan plan.
The students handed out flyers in which they stated their demand for:

a) A federal solution to the Cyprus problem that satisfies the common and competing interests of all Cypriots based on the UN resolutions and principles,

b) Representation of the Turkish Cypriot community in the negotiations by its NGOs, since the current leadership no longer represents the Turkish Cypriot community at-large,

c) An urgent, comprehensive population census in northern Cyprus, under the close scrutiny and monitoring of international observers, to establish the origins of the citizens living in this part, and

d) The full demilitarization of the island as part of the solution agreement, thus a schedule for the Turkish army's withdrawal from the island.
