18/06/2007
Cyprus Foreign Minister Yiorgos Lillikas revealed that Nicosia would veto any effort in the European Union to open the energy chapter in membership negotiations with Turkey.
Lillikas said Cyprus had tabled its positions on the three chapters that the EU plans to open with Ankara.
''With open cards and respect to the EU procedures and European Council decisions, we had warned that if there were any attempts to open the energy chapter –there were thoughts in the Commission- the Cyprus government would file a veto,'' the Cypriot Minister said."
