"Iacovou calls on Washington to recognise new realities
By Stefanos Evripidou
FOREIGN Minister George Iacovou yesterday called on the US government to readjust its policy on Cyprus, taking into consideration the new facts on the island, like its full membership to the European Union.
The appeal followed comments by US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice that the US was working to ease the isolation of Turkish Cypriots.
Iacovou stressed that �the lifting of the so called isolation will not be achieved through the ways the Americans have adopted�.
�The reason why the US wanted a solution of the Cyprus issue prior to the island�s accession to the EU is well known. But the facts have now changed, Cyprus is an EU member state,� he noted. "
