Cyprus notes Turkish ''fierce reaction'' to EU statement
Nicosia, Sep 22 (CNA) - Cypriot Government Spokesman Kypros Chrysostomides spoke of a ''fierce reaction'' on behalf of Turkey and the Turkish Cypriots to the content of the EU counterstatement in response to a declaration issue by Ankara that it did not recognise the Republic of Cyprus.
''There is a fierce reaction on behalf of Turkey for the counterstatement,'' he said, adding that the counterstatement and Ankara's negotiating framework ''have the same political and legal importance and it is impossible to separate them.''
