EU does not reach consensus on response to Turkey
by Nicos Bellos
Brussels, Sep 7 (CNA) - The European Union's 25 member states did not
manage on Wednesday to agree on their response to Turkey's refusal to
recognise the Republic of Cyprus, due to disagreements and the over all
handling of the issue by the British Presidency.
The discussion in Brussels during the COREPER-level talks was notably
short, while efforts focused mainly on the bilateral meetings of the
Presidency and the several delegations, including a Cypriot one, which
expressed objections regarding the content of a counter statement that
is expected in response to a July statement by Ankara reiterating its
stance on Cyprus.
