"Nicosia lays out terms for Turkey
Cyprus has identified five key issues it wants to be addressed in return for supporting Turkey�s EU accession talks, according to statements made by Cypriot Foreign Minister Giorgos Iacovou on Saturday.
In the first public move by either Athens, Nicosia or Ankara to publicly reveal their hand ahead of December 17 negotiations, when EU leaders will decide if and when to start membership talks with Turkey, Iacovou said that the five problems that need to be resolved are: the recognition of Cyprus by Turkey; Ankara�s veto of Cypriot participation in various international organizations; the settlement of Turks in occupied northern Cyprus; the protection of property owned by Greek-Cypriots in the Turkish-occupied territories and the presence of Turkish troops on the island."
