21:45) Cyprus parliament condemns Israel's 'genocide'
By The Associated Press

The Cyprus parliament also accused Israel today of committing
"genocide" against the Palestinians and demanded the immediate withdrawal of Israeli troops from Palestinian territories.

In a unanimous vote, the parliament adopted a resolution condemning "clearly and unreservedly the Israeli actions and the genocide conducted by the (Ariel) Sharon government against the Palestinian people, which perpetuates hatred and kills every prospect of peace in the region."

The resolution called on the Israeli government "to withdraw its troops from Palestinian territories immediately" and to end "the provocative siege of the president of the
Palestinian Authority Yasser Arafat which lacks any logic and prevents every prospect of a dialogue and the ending of the tragic impasse."

Earlier today, Turkey's prime minister accused Israel today of committing "genocide" against Palestinians - an unusually harsh denunciation from a country with strong ties to the Jewish state.
