Verheugen says no EU talks for Turkey with Cyprus issue pending
Nicosia, Nov 16 (CNA) - The Cyprus question may not be included in the
Copenhagen criteria for Turkey's accession to the EU, but no serious
person would think it possible for Turkey to commence accession
negotiations with the EU while the Cyprus issue remains unsolved,
Enlargement Commissioner Gunter Verheugen has said.
United Democrats President George Vassiliou told CNA that Verheugen
also pointed out that the key to a Cyprus solution is not in Turkish
Cypriot leader Rauf Denktash' hands but in the hands of Turkey.
