Turkey to open ports to Cyprus
Turkey has reportedly agreed to open one of its seaports and an airport to Greek Cypriot ships and planes in an effort to avoid the suspension of European Union accession talks. The EU has been threatening to put those talks on hold after Turkey failed to open its ports and airports to Cyprus whose Greek Cypriot government is not recognised by the Turkish government. Last week the European Commission recommended slowing down the entry process by freezing several negotiating chapters that states are required to complete before being able to join.Posted by: mrp 2006-12-07 |
