EU warns Turkey that talks hinge on quick recognition of Cyprus

"The member states of the European Union expect Turkey to sign the protocol regarding the adaptation of the Ankara agreement as soon as possible," said Jean-Claude Juncker, prime minister of Luxembourg, which currently holds the EU presidency.

"There is no possibility for Ankara to start commenting on what has already been negotiated," he added after talks in Luxembourg with President Tassos Papadopoulos of Cyprus.
