NICOSIA – Cyprus warned Turkey on Sunday that it could veto its European Union bid if Ankara fails to meet obligations towards the partitioned Mediterranean island.

'A veto is more effective when you have convinced the others you have reached the ultimate position you can compromise on, and when they are also convinced the other side behaves unreasonably,' he was quoted as telling the newspaper."
