"EU: Turkish accession to the EU threatened by the Cypriot issue
Decyphering
The debate about the accession of Turkey into the EU is again at issue. At a time when it just opened, on September 1st, the European summit of Newport, in Wales, a preparatory meeting before the opening of negotiations on the accession, promised for October 3, tensions between the representatives from the EU and Turkey were on the rise regarding the Cypriot issue. Turkey does not recognize the Republic of Cyprus, which exercises its authority upon the Greek part of the island where the division de facto of that country, took place in 1974, in a Turkish-Cypriot zone and Greek area."
