"'Inconceivable' for Turkey not to recognise Cyprus
By Jean Christou
IT WOULD be �inconceivable� for Turkey not to recognise an EU member state at the same time as it is negotiating to become a member of the bloc, Government Spokesman Kypros Chrysostomides said yesterday.
He was responding to statements by British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw that Ankara�s recognition of Cyprus would be resolved in the context of Turkey�s full membership of the EU.
Chrysostomides also dismissed as untrue Turkish Foreign Minister Abdullah Gul�s statement that Turkey�s customs union with the 10 new EU member states was already functioning."
