  • [01] SPOKESMAN - TURKEY - EU - CYPRUS

    Turkey has undertaken a commitment to meet, without terms or preconditions, all its obligations towards the European Union and the Republic of Cyprus, said Government Spokesman Christodoulos Pashiardes.

    Asked whether the government intends to abide by its position that it will not allow the opening of a new negotiating chapter with Turkey, unless Ankara meets its EU obligations, the Spokesman said that this position is clear.

    We will not change our position based on any pressures exerted on us, which are against our interests or our rights, he added.

    Ankara undertook a commitment to meet, without any terms or preconditions, all its obligations towards the EU and the Republic of Cyprus, the Spokesman noted.

    Pashiardes was also invited to comment on Turkish Foreign Minister Abdullah Guls statement that the negative stance of the Turkish people towards Turkeys accession to the EU emerges from the fact that Ankara gives promises on a higher level which it does not keep.

    ``If Gul does not feel comfortable with his countrys refusal to meet its obligations, surely he has the time to change this, the Spokesman said.

    Cyprus, which joined the EU in May 2004, has been divided since 1974, when Turkey invaded and occupied its northern third.

    [02] FINANCE MINISTER - SINGAPORE

    Cypriot Minister of Finance Michalis Sarris is in Singapore to participate in the annual meetings of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF), to be held from September 16 to 20.

    According to an official press release, Sarris will be participating in his capacity of Governor of the World Bank for Cyprus.
