"Ertugrul Ozkok: Friday morning in Berlin: an historical meeting
This coming Friday morning in Berlin, there is to be a meeting that will be very important in terms of the EU's foreign policy. Barring last minute changes, the meeting will take place in the building where the German Foreign Ministry hosts "foreign guests on official business." Which means the meeting will be imprinted with the stamp "official" on it. The two people to meet Friday will be German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier and Northern Cypriot President Mehmet Talat. I underline again: this meeting will take place within an "official" framework. Which means that the German government is sitting down with the President of Northern Cyprus in an official manner. Of course, I underline here again that this does not mean German is official "recognizing" Northern Cyprus. But it is accepting Talat as the Northern Cypriots' "elected president." "
