US stands firm on tanks delivery to north
WASHINGTON yesterday said the transfer of US-made Turkish tanks to the north did not violate any post-1974 agreements on arming either side in Cyprus with American weapons.
US State Department Deputy Spokesman Adam Ereli has said there had been no transfer of US weapons to Cyprus' Turkish-occupied areas that would cause concern and violation of statutes.
�These are weapons that Turkey � that the government of Turkey has, the Turkish armed forces have, and that � to our knowledge, there are no transfers that have taken place or provisions governing transfers that have been violated. There have been no new developments that would lead us to conclude that something illegal or prohibited is taking place,� he said. "
