Talat noted that development of relations between Turkey and the Greek Cypriot side was unavoidable and added, ``because, the Greek Cypriot side is an EU member with the title `Republic of Cyprus.` Turkey has signed customs union deal with the EU. It is an EU candidate and expecting a date to start negotiations with the EU. What is right is to take sensible steps which won`t harm our interests and rights in Cyprus. Therefore, it is obvious that Turkey should take steps. There is no other alternative because, Turkey is a world state. And, a world state should comply with the world law.``
This clarifies Talats position in Cyprus and I think these are good steps to move forward!
