The President of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) Mehmet Ali Talat reacted strongly against the Greek Cypriot parliament that held a voting on the European Union (EU) Constitution draft on behalf of the "Cyprus Republic".
Protesting against the vote for the EU Constitution in Southern Cyprus, Talat sent a June 27 letter to prime ministers and presidents of the EU member states along with the European Commission President Jose Manuel Barosso, EU Council Secretary-General Javier Salona and UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan. In the letter, Talat said, "The 1959-1960 London and Zurich Agreements call for the approval of Cypriot Turks for such decisions to be taken." Talat emphasized that the approval of the EU Constitution by the Greek Representatives' Council on behalf of the 'Cyprus Republic' would not have any legal or moral grounds and the TRNC would not be bounded by any such agreements.
