German Expert: Turkey Ties to Split EU
Turkey's proposal on opening a port and an airport for Cyprus is a 'successful move' that aims at splitting the European Union and prevent it from deciding to freeze talks with Ankara, said Elmar Brock, the head of the European Parliament Foreign Affairs Committee. "Anyway there won't be a unanimous decision on Turkey and it means that nothing will happen. Turkey has won," he said.

At least UK stands against breaking accession talks with Turkey. Earlier the European Commission offered the EU Foreign Ministers to consider the possibility of freezing talks with Turkey on 8 out of 35 subjects, reports Deutsche Welle.
