[01] STEPHANOU - DAVUTOGLU - EU PRESIDENCY
Government Spokesman Stephanos Stephanou has stressed that ``it is in
the hand of the Turkish side, a united Cyprus Republic to assume the EU
Presidency``.
Commenting on the statements made by Foreign Minister of Turkey Ahmet
Davutoglu during his illegal visit to the Turkish occupied areas of
Cyprus, Stephanou notes in a written statement that if the Turkish side
cooperates for a solution of a reunited Cypriot state, then the two
Cypriot communities could undertake the EU Presidency in the second
half of 2012, in the framework of the reunified state.
The Turkish FM`s statements, Stephanou notes, ``are part of the
unacceptable and provocative communication policy of Turkey to shift
its responsibilities to others for not achieving a solution of the
Cyprus issue``.
Turkey, he adds, instead of accusing the Greek-Cypriot policy for so
called obstruction at the talks, should be concerned about its policy
which hinders the achievement of a solution.
Instead of making communicating tricks and trying to consolidate the
faits accomplis of the Turkish occupation, Turkey should prove in deed
its willingness to work for a solution based on the UN resolutions,
which Ankara so far has not implemented, he stresses.
