EU enlargement chief Olli Rehn reiterated Friday that Turkey must sign an accord extending a customs agreement to Cyprus before it can start EU membership talks, as he prepared for a trip to Ankara. Rehn heads Sunday for a three-day trip to Turkey, which hopes to start talks on joining the European Union (EU) in October after winning a green light from EU leaders in December. During the visit he will meet Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Foreign Minister Abdullah Gul, and also visit Istanbul for talks with non-governmental organizations and business leaders. Foreign Minister Jean Asselborn of Luxembourg, which holds the rotating EU presidency, and Britain's Europe minister Denis MacShane, whose country will take over the presidency in June, will also take part in the talks in Ankara on Monday.
