``We adhere to the full fulfillment of Turkeys obligations and commitments towards the EU and the Republic of Cyprus. Turkey is obliged to comply with the EU criteria and implement all it undertook, Pashiardes noted.

Commenting on Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Matthew Bryzas statement, that the US work with Cyprus, the EU and Turkey to find ways for Ankara to fulfill its EU obligations, Pashiardes said the government of Cyprus will not take part in any attempt to find ways for Turkey to fulfill its obligations and commitments towards the EU.

These obligations are clear, concrete and unavoitable, and can not be fulfilled with instalments, or trade offs. Nor is it possible to consider the compliance with the obligations, as a compromise, a retreat or a voluntary polite gesture on behalf of Turkey, he pointed out.

Regarding Bryzas statements, Pashiardes said that the US officials statements include many positive elements regarding the principles, the basis and the framework of the Cyprus solution.

The Spokesman added ``the government of Cyprus is not willing to take part in the legalization of illegality, in the case that Bryzas statement about easing the so called isolation of the Turkish Cypriots, is merely a pseudonym of an indirect effort to political upgrade the illegal state in the north.
