President Talat Met With Commissioner for Enlargement Rehn

President Mehmet Ali Talat, who was in Brussels, met with European Commission Enlargement Commissioner Olli Rehn yesterday.

Talat answered the media’s questions following the meeting.

In response to a question on what he thinks about the draft 2009 Enlargement Report by the EP,which states that EU-NATO strategic cooperation continues to be blocked by Turkey, and has negative consequences for the protection of the EU personnel deployed, Talat said:

“This demonstrates that the EU should pay more attention to the solution of the Cyprus problem. We know that the EU places great importance on NATO and depends on the general security provided by NATO. However, nobody should forget that the Turkish Cypriot side, and Turkey, which supports the Turkish Cypriot side, would tolerate the NATO membership of the Greek Cypriot army, which made an attempt on the life and property of Turkish Cypriots. This is impossible. Don’t even think about it. This would constitute a very serious security threat for us. Acceptance of this would be a kind of suicide. It is that serious. Since it is directly related to security, it is not like anything else. The Greek Cypriot army still uses slogans that are severely against Turkish Cypriots. Its presence in NATO is unthinkable. Nobody should take offence, including Europeans.”

President Talat said that they had a detailed meeting with Rehn. “He is interested in knowing about the latest developments in the Cyprus negotiations,” said Talat . “And whether we will be able to find a solution in a short time.”

“As you know, the EU has appointed Leopold Maurer in UN Secretary General’s Special Advisor Alexander Downer’s team,” he continued. “He is helping the team with legal and technical issues and is obliged to assist us if and when we demand. Therefore, Mr. Maurer’s presence in the negotiations process increases the importance of the EU.”

President Talat underlined however that the EU cannot play an impartial role in the Cyprus problem since the Greek Cypriot side is in the bloc. He said EU’s contribution will be limited to technical and legal assistance.

“EU’s interest in the Cyprus problem and its demand to bring it to an early conclusion is of course important,” said Talat. “Firstly, the EU may motivate the Greek Cypriot side for an urgent settlement. This could be at the level of EU Commission or member states. I believe this is very important because the Greek Cypriot side is at ease after having become a member of the EU. The second thing the EU could do is about Turkish Cypriots. Turkish Cypriots have largely lost faith in the EU. Nevertheless, they still want to join the EU and they still want solution… To revitalise their faith in solution and in the EU, the EU should intensify its relations with the Turkish Cypriots. I asked Mr. Rehn to consider this. As you know, we don’t accept to carry on relations with the EU through the Greek Cypriot side. I had to bring this to their attention again.”

Talat said that the ports issue was not on the agenda of the meeting with Rehn. “Turkey cannot be expected to lift the restrictions towards Greek Cypriots while no step is taken to ease the isolation of Turkish Cypriots,” Talat said.

In response to a question on when the negotiations in Cyprus should be concluded, Talat said:

“There are presidential elections in North Cyprus in April. Therefore the EU and Mr. Rehn are interested in an early solution. Even if we go beyond the end of this year, the elections in April is an important turning point. Nobody can deny this. The elections campaign will begin a while before the elections. If the Cyprus problem is not solved before the start of the elections campaign, the elements of the Cyprus problem will become elements of the elections campaign. And this is not right. Let aside the fact that this would affect the elections, such discussions would have a negative impact on the solution process. Because the sides, the candidates, the players will be making certain promises and certain statements. Those statements will affect the negotiations process. This is my biggest concern. For that reason, if the campaigns are to begin in February, I believe that we will have to have a very serious progress, or even solution by February.”

Did he fall and hit his head? Is there no one to slap him on his bald head and say "shut up idiot!" My 2 year old niece would probably explain herself better.

Yes quite.

Another for instance, on the one hand the Unofficial Muhktat and Spokesperson for Turkey says the EU should be limited to technical and legal advice in the talks having said a few sentenced earlier that the EU should pay more attention to a solution!

Reh Gregory, get your two year old niece to the talks mate. She could do a better job than this has-been Slaphead Stooge.

Reh MavroLaoma, how rude of me, I should have welcomed you to the form first. Now that I have, do not worry your little head about what the TCs drink old boy, It's called Guzelpinar, pure Anatolian clean and fresh water. Now if you are good little boy and behave yourself, you may be allowed to buy it too very soon at only double the price then what the TCs pay for it, and that’s giving it away. So run a long now and play some pirilli or lingri or play with yourself or something. Do something useful and productive.

Please feel free to go back to Anatolia and drink all the Guzelpinar you like. I'll stick to the EU recognised Cypriot variety.
