Turkey’s EU Process Depends on Cyprus

During a visit to Southern Cyprus, Karamanlis said at the Greek Cypriot Parliament that, his country supported Turkey’s membership process but this depended on Turkey’s behavior.

According to the Greek Cypriot radio, Karamanlis claimed that, "Turkey’s process of membership to EU, depends on its obeying the criteria, the situation in the country, the steps it will take in foreign policy and its stance towards the "Cyprus Republic.""

He added that the unification of Cyprus topped their list of priorities.
