Cyprus warns EU over Turkey's negotiation framework

by Nicos Bellos

Brussels, Jul 18 (CNA) - Cypriot Minister of Foreign Affairs George Iacovou has warned the British Presidency of the EU and other EU member states that Cyprus will not consent to a unanimous decision of the General Affairs Council on the framework of Turkey's accession negotiations unless Ankara signs the protocol extending its association agreement with the ten new EU member states.

Iacovou's intervention came after Enlargement Commissioner Olli Rehn presented the proposal for the negotiating framework of Turkey's accession talks to the 25 Ministers of Foreign Affairs.

The Presidency had earlier said that no discussion would take place today, with the exception of Iacovou presenting his position because, as Foreign Secretary Jack Straw said, Cyprus has a vested interest in the issue.
