National Security Council issues "warning" to EU on Cyprus

National Security Council issues warning to EU on Cyprus
Oluşturulma Tarihi: Aralık 29, 2006 11:35

The National Security Council (MGK) has for the first time ever relayed the message to the EU that in the event that the Cyprus issue continues to be put in front of Ankara as a condition for membership talks, the membership talks will not be able to continue.

Yesterday's message from the MGK was an assertion of the repeated warnings from Ankara that the Cyprus issue is a separate one from the rest of Turkey's EU accession talks, and must not be made into a condition for Turkey's entrance into the EU. A top level government source affirmed yesterday that in short, the MGK's message means "Clear Cyprus from the talks table." Despite its sharp words on Cyprus, the MGK yesterday also reiterated the general determination on the part of Ankara to continue on its path to the EU, and that its target of full membership had not been changed.

The statement coming out of Ankara's Cankaya Presidential Palace, where the MGK met for 5 hours under the direction of President Ahmet Necdet Sezer, included the following lines:

"It is expected that the methods and treatment afforded other countries by the EU will also be extended towards Turkey, and that barriers such as Cyprus, which have no relation to membership talks, will not be continually put before Turkey. It is critical that the EU share these expectations of ours, in order that the membership talks continue."

Possible repurcussions to Saddam Hussein's execution

The other top item on yesterday's meeting of the MGK was reportedly Iraq. Talks on Iraq yesterday in Ankara focused on the possible repurcussions to the execution of former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein.
