Ankara will freeze its relations with the European Union (EU) when Cyprus Republic assumes presidency in this organization, if the Cyprus problem continuing many years is not settled by that time, said Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan. "We consider it a disgrace to sit down at the negotiating table with them (Greek Cypriots) at the United Nations. We will not negotiate with a country which we do not recognise," Erdogan declared ahead of a visit on Tuesday afternoon to the northern Turkish part of the island to mark the anniversary of the Turkish military intervention on July 20, 1974, AFP reports.
