Cyprus- MFA - Statements by Foreign Minister Markos Kyprianou – Turkey’s EU obligations

http://www.mfa.gov.cy/mfa/mfa2006.nsf/A ... enDocument

“A candidate country like Turkey cannot set the terms and conditions for the fulfilment of its own obligations towards the European Union”, the Minister of Foreign Affairs Mr Markos Kyprianou noted after his meeting yesterday with the Italian Deputy Foreign Minister Mr Alfredo Mantica. Mr Kyprianou was invited by journalists to comment on statements made by Turkey’s Chief EU Negotiator Egemen Bagis who said if direct trade with the occupied areas began and good will was shown, then Turkey would open its ports to Cypriot ships.

Mr Kyprianou said the implementation of the Customs Union Agreement and the Ankara Additional Protocol constituted an obligation for Turkey, as a candidate country, which she had to fulfil without putting forward its own conditions in an attempt to evade the obligation.

“Any attempts to associate two irrelevant issues cannot be accepted by the Cyprus Republic and we will allow the European Union to accept them either”, Mr Kyprianou stressed. He further said the statements made by the Turkish side could be interpreted as unwillingness by Ankara to comply with its obligations vis-a-vis the EU. If this policy continues, he added, there will be repercussions in December, when Turkey’s EU accession course will be evaluated.

The Foreign Minister also noted that regarding the so-called direct trade, the European Union had not made any promises either towards the Turkish Cypriots or towards Turkey about the adoption of that regulation. “If there is a relevant assurance by some countries unilaterally that is their problem”, he added. Mr Kyprianou then asserted that the proposal for direct trade with the occupied areas was part of a set of proposals submitted by the European Commission for strengthening the Turkish Cypriot community, noting that the European Union had no obligation to accept all the proposals.

Why is the EU wasting time with this bunch of lying misfits? They should just get rid of them from Cyprus-EU and firmly shut the door.

Who needs the bloody Turks? Oh yeah, they are sending 1000 troops to Afghanistan ... how about another 43,000

Good question Oracle.

Makes you wonder what the hell the GC's are good for and why they are in the EU in the first place, if this holy EU was as righteous as they marketed themselves to be?

Seems like so far the only "good" you have done was to provide logistics for CIA torture planes. Nice

[paliometoxo]

i know right sharhamarhaham hamrh however u say ur nick im to lazy to paste it ;p


it make su wonder why the hell they even accepted the barbarian turks for talks to the eu they still live in the ape ages and do nothing but take and threat their neighbouring countries with their army snd try take what they want by force and think its ok to do what they want and be total hypocrites...

so pround that a countri over over 10 times the size of cyprus cant even join europe.. it says alot abnout their standerds.. and no cyprus probably has little to do with it probably if there was no cyprus problem TURKEY still wouldent join no one wants them in eu the scum of the earth who still marry donkeys

[shahmaran]

Right so why are they negotiating?

The only thing this proves to me that the EU is mainly made up of a bunch of self-centered, bias and opportuist morons who stink of racism to their teeth, kind of like the RoC dont you think?

[paliometoxo]

no i think kind of like the ROt who still murders people who says one word they dont like who is probably the most racist country ive ever seen in my life...

rupublic of turkey needs eu more then eu needs them... since turkey feels the need to threaten eu and the fact they feel the need to run to the eu and beg them to forget cyprus and take them instead... your getting ur countries mixed up ROT is what u meant to say... u keep doing these typos.. but its ok i knew u meant ROT

[paliometoxo]
