  • [01] SPOKESMAN - DIRECT TRADE

    The implementation of the EU direct trade regulation for the Turkish Cypriots demands a constructive stance by Turkey, so that any political considerations would be removed from the effort for the financial assistance of the Turkish Cypriots, Government Spokesman Christodoulos Pashiardis has said.

    In statements after a meeting of the Council of Ministers, Pashiardis noted that the government consults with its European partners for the solution of this issue ``aiming at the financial assistance of the Turkish Cypriots as legal citizens of the Republic of Cyprus.``

    Invited to comment on yesterday`s statements by German Minister of Foreign Affairs Frank-Walter Steinmeier, Pashiardis said that the government does not attribute any political dimension to Steinmeier`s reference to a ``Northern Cyprus.``

    ``We do not have any doubt that the German Minister`s specific reference is a mere geographical definition with no political implications whatsoever,`` Pashiardis noted.

    [02] EUROBAROMETRE - CYPRUS

    Although Greek Cypriots favour a further EU enlargement, only 19% sees Turkey`s accession to the EU as positive, according to the EU Eurobarometre`s national report for Cyprus.

    In the Eurobarometre, covering the areas controlled by the government of Cyprus as well the Turkish Cypriot community, between September 6th and October 1st, Greek Cypriots rank fourth regarding their negative stance for Turkey`s EU accession.

    First who see Turkey`s accession as negative are the Austrians 87%, followed by Germany 78%, Luxembourg 77% and Cyprus 74%.

    On the other hand, Turkish Cypriots are the ones who most favour Turkey`s accession with 78%, followed by the Turkish citizens with 68%.
