US Congress Committee Supports Cyprus EU Accession
Last week in Washington the 45 members of the US Congress International Affairs Committee expressed their support for Cyprus' accession to the European Union, with or without a prior solution to the Cyprus problem.
In a letter to US Secretary of State Colin Powell, the Committee requests that the US Administration undertake a more active role in efforts to reunite the island.
They note that Cyprus' accession to the European Union would contribute to stability in the region and the solution of the Cyprus problem, and would also serve US and NATO interests.
They also urge Mr. Powell to make clear to Turkey that the United States favours Cyprus' EU accession, with or without a solution of the political problem.
