Turkey's Security Council roars over Cyprus
In a thinly veiled thread, Turkey's National Security Council (MGK) has warned that if the Republic of Cyprus enters the European Union without the resolution of the divided island's problem, then peace and security in the Eastern Mediterranean region will face uncertainties. In an announcement released yesterday, MGK also warned that it will not accept any fait accompli that returns Cyprus to the period prior to 1974. Also, the council reiterated Ankara's standing demand that two separate and equal states be recognized on the divided island, while accusing Greece of having an obsession to transform Cyprus into a Greek island.
Greek government spokesperson Dimitris Reppas stressed that the issue of Cyprus is
one of invasion and occupation, noting that the United Nations has designated the
resolution framework, one that is acknowledged by all, except Turkey.
