The Prime Minister Derviş Eroğlu visited the EU info centre today where he was breifed on the centre’s goals and activities.

Speaking during the visit, the Prime Minister reminded that his party has been supporting EU membership since 1985.

He said that as the leader of the governing National Unity Party, he supported the education of the public on the EU.

Underlining the importance of opening such an office in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, Eroğlu however pointed out that the information centre was still not at the desired level.

Critisizing the European Union for failing to keep its promises to the people of the TRNC, the Premier said that the ongoing isolations imposed on the Cyprus Turks by a community of democratic states such as the EU was absolutely unacceptable.

He said that it was high time the union took the necassary steps in removing the embargoes imposed on the TRNC.

For his part, the director of the EU info point Kudret Akay said that the Prime Minister’s visit would serve as an important encouragment for people to learn about EU matters.

He expressed the belief that more people will visit the centre from now on.

Later, the Prime Minister paid a visit to the EU coordination centre operating under his office.

Speaking there, the premier said that despite the unfounded claims that his party was against the EU, the National Unity Party believed that improving relations with the bloc will be highly benefitial for the TRNC.

The Prime Minister also denied speculations that the government had plans to dissolve the coordination centre.

“The department will continue to exist and function..allegations that the centre will be dissolved now that the UBP government has come to power are baseless and not true” he added.

Underlining the need for dialogue between the government and the EU on various development projects, the Prime Minister said such dialogue particularly important in restoring the public’s confidence in the EU, especially after unions failure to keep its promises to the Cyprus Turks after the 2004 referendum.

The EU never made any promises to the Cyprus Turks. And in 2004 they were Turkish Cypriots.

Excellent observation.

EROGLU: EU HAS FAILED TO KEEP ITS PROMISES

There’s no such thing as “EU promises”, but “EU agreements” which always come in writing.

So what you are saying is dont trust what EU officials say verbally.

Yes, here it is in writing. Trust me on this.

Excellent observation.

They (the EU) offered each and every Cypriot living in the north an opportunity to be a European Citizen - with exactly the same rights as each and every Cypriot living in the south - and they haven't renaged on that promise. And they gave it in writing, to the Republic, a document which it signed.

So we should not trust EU as replacement for security, thought so.

There is no such thing as a "Free Lunch", VP. There is always a cost attached to anything if you want a "hand out". It is Universal.!

You just want the "Free Lunch", that's all.!

As soon as you find one, give me a call and we can both get a free meal.!
