Slovakia believes it is high time for Cyprus problem to be solved
by Maria Myles
Bratislava, Nov 29 (CNA) Slovakia's President Ivan Gasparovicova said
he is convinced that the time to solve the Cyprus problem is
irrevocably approaching.
In a state banquet hosted by Gasparovicova in honour of Cyprus
President Tassos Papadopoulos, the Slovakian President said Cyprus'
accession to the European Union ''has shifted the problem to a new
legal and political environment, which will surely act as a catalyst in
unifying the island''.
Replying, President Papadopoulos said Cyprus anticipates ''Turkey to
recognize and accept its obligations deriving from starting accession
negotiations with the EU, both collectively and separately with each
member state''.
