Turkey Doesn't Want to Yield to EU in Cypriot Issue

PanARMENIAN.Net - Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan warned the European Union that his state will not make concessions in the Cypriot issue. "We cannot take asymmetric moves on the issues inadmissible for us," he said. Earlier Erdogan reiterated that Turkey will open her ports for Cyprus only after the lifting of international isolation of the Northern Cyprus.



"A problem like the Cypriot one cannot be resolved via blackmail or setting terms for its resolution," Turkish Foreign Minister Abdullah Gul told NTV. The Turkish government stated that the Cypriot issue is a political problem and its resolution is not a condition of the EU negotiation process that bears a technical nature, reports RIA Novosti.
