HELLIM SHOULD BE REGISTERED IN THREE LANGUAGES;TURKISH, GREEK AND ENGLISH.

The Cyprus Turkish Chamber of Industry, Union of Producers of Milk and Diary Products and state milk industries, KOOP-SUT have pointed out that `hellim` is a product unique to Cyprus and that it should be registered in three languages; Turkish, Greek and English.
Speaking at a joint press conference, the President of the Chamber of Industry Salih Tunar pointed out that the Greek Cypriot Cheese Producers Union did not use the name of `hellim` in its application to the European Union to register the product as a product unique to Cyprus.

Mr Tunar said that the three institutions raised their objections to the Greek Cypriot Ministry of Agriculture on the issue and demanded the registration of `hellim` both in Turkish and Greek languages and the need to produce high quality products.

`Our aim is not to prevent the registration of hellim as a product unique to Cyprus` he said, adding that the aim is to register `hellim` as a product of Cyprus in three languages, Turkish, Greek and English.

He noted that work on the issue is still continuing.
