[02] CULTURE MINISTERS - BOLOGNA PROCESS - SO CALLED UNIVERSITIES
Cyprus Minister of Education and Culture Akis Kleanthous told CNA that
the accession of the Turkish Cypriot illegal regime`s so called
universities to the Bologna Process is no longer an issue.
The issue was tabled by the Turkish delegation, during the 5th Bologna
conference of Ministers responsible for Higher Education which took
place in London 16-18 May 2007.
In her intervention against this demand by the Turkish side, Greek
Education Minister Marietta Yiannakou underlined that a fundamental
principle of the Bologna Process was that this is an intergovernmental
process, a principle which could not be violated.
