Kyprianou rejects Turkish EU tactics

Postby paliometoxo » Thu Jul 09, 2009 7:24 pm

NICOSIA- Foreign Minister Marcos Kyprianou has dismissed Turkish attempts to link Ankara’s obligations to the European Union with its demand for direct trade between Cyprus’ Turkish occupied areas and the EU.
“Turkey as a candidate country, cannot put forward terms and preconditions in order to meet its commitments towards the Union,” Kyprianou said.
The Foreign Minister stressed that Turkey has undertaken a commitment to implement the Customs Union agreement and the additional Protocol, which call on Ankara to open its ports and airports to Cyprus flag ships and aircraft.

If the EU does not keep its word then why shoudl Turkey? the credibility of the EU is very questional upon hypocritical if they do not keep their promises but expect others to do so.

Look how much the builders, estate agents, lawyers and the "trnc government" promised the Orams and all the other suckers who bought GC land in the north illegally, that their investments would be protected that it was all safe and legal, which did not save them, so does that then mean that everyone in the north are all liars.?? Of course not.! The point is, the EU body did not promise anything, or else it would have been on paper. You can't just take the word of someone who just works for the EU. There is a difference.!
