‘We can do plenty of things’



CYPRUS AND Armenia are clearly in favour of the accession of a modern Turkey to the EU, the presidents of the two countries said after talks at the Armenian Presidential Palace in Yerevan on Monday.



Speaking at a joint press conference with his Armenian counterpart Serzh Sargsyan at the end of his two-day visit, President Demetris Christofias said there are common positions on this issue with Sargsyan.



Christofias said that “we are in favour of the accession of a modernised Turkey with a European behaviour”, noting that Turkey must not join the EU simply because it is a big country and a major market, but it must accept and implement the accession conditions and values of the EU.



The President said that Cyprus continues to condemn the Armenian genocide, adding that “I consider Turkish Cypriots as our brothers and children of the same country, but our neighbouring country has no right to impose its will.”

Dear CK..



>>got it from the cyprus mail must be true lol<<



Well, they have sometimes been a bit "naughty" and not always checked through their sources, but I *think* you'll find the CY Mail is oft quoted by "TC supporters" as it is pro bizonal solution, the editorial was pro Annan and they publish stories re CY historical events that demonstrate both ethnicities have nought to crow about..
