Top Brussels think-tank slams Tassos

"Top Brussels think-tank slams Tassos By Jean Christou

THE Brussels-based think tank the International Crisis Group (ICG), which caused a stir last year over its pro-Turkish stance on Cyprus, has slammed President Tassos Papadopoulos as an obstacle to a solution.

“An opportunity for change in Greek Cyprus may emerge if presidential elections in February 2008 produce a more pro-reunification president than the current hardliner, Tassos Papadopoulos,” the new report on Turkey-EU relations said.

“Some Greek Cypriot officials say they believe the same. For now, however, there are few signs of impatience in Greek Cypriot society for reunification with neighbours who are three times poorer and one fifth their number, yet demand political equality.”
