Armenians and Cyprus Greeks form anti-Turkish alliance at OSCE

Armenians and Cyprus Greeks have formed an anti-Turkish alliance at OSCE to veto the candidature of a Turkish diplomat Ersin Ercin for OSCE Secretary General.

According to Turkish Foreign Minister, “Turkey has advanced the candidature of its diplomat, and there are 3 more candidates. The discussion continues. We’ll follow the developments and take a decision.”

The alliance supports the candidacy of an Austrian diplomat and politician Ursula Plassnik.

"In an organization, including 56 member states, Russia is the greatest supporter of Turkey. Besides, Greek Prime Minister Georgios Papandreou has promised support to Turkey's candidate," Sabah Turkish newspaper reported.
