Nicosia, Apr 30 (CNA) - In the past three months there has been an increase in the number of Turkish Cypriots who apply to the Cyprus Republic to acquire Cypriot passports, Government Spokesman Michalis Papapetrou told CNA today, invited to comment on a report carried by "Sigma" private TV station last night.

Papapetrou expressed the view this increase "may have to do with the fact that Turkish Cypriots are realising Cyprus' European Union accession course is unfolding very positively and there is a serious possibility the Republic will become a member."
