President Clerides - Cyprus - Turkey - EU
Larnaca, Feb 5 (CNA) - Cyprus President Glafcos Clerides said today that
Cyprus has every right to join the European Union (EU) and to participate
in the European rapid reaction force, even if the island could not send
soldiers but only provide services, due to the government's proposal for
the island's demilitarisation.
Commenting on threats by Turkish Defence Minister Sebahetin Cakmakoglu
contained in a letter to the head of the EU Common Foreign and Defence
Policy Javier Solana, President Clerides said the EU had accepted Cyprus
and considers Turkish allegations to be legally unfounded.
