"Opposition lambastes govt over Cyprus failure
The New Anatolian / Ankara
Opposition parties lambasted the ruling Justice and Development (AK) Party yesterday claiming that it's failed to resist the European Union's impositions on the Cyprus issue and has undermined Turkey's national interests.
Democratic Left Party (DSP) leader Zeki Sezer said Monday's EU-Turkey Intergovernmental Conference, at which the Greek Cypriots pushed for harsher conditions to begin accession talks with Turkey, was no surprise but a natural consequence of the AK Party's concessions over the last two years on the Cyprus issue. He added said that Monday's mini-crisis showed how the AK Party government had put Turkey in a vise. "
