"Turkey EU talks to shift UN focus back on Cyprus
NICOSIA: Turkey’s talks to join the European Union will trigger a fresh UN effort to break the stalemate over ethnically divided EU member Cyprus, the Cypriot foreign minister said on Sunday. UN efforts to reunite Cyprus’s Greek and Turkish Cypriots collapsed in 2004 when Greek Cypriots rejected a reunification plan accepted by the island’s Turkish Cypriots. But without a peace deal on Cyprus, chances of Turkey joining the EU in the next 10 to 15 years are slim."
