Cyprus supports EU decision on Turkey's talks

Nicosia, May 30 (CNA) -- Cypriot Government Spokesman Kypros Chrysostomides said today that the government continued to support the decision taken by the European Council in December 2004 regarding the opening of EU accession negotiations with Turkey.

Commenting on yesterday's rejection of the European Constitution by the people of France and any possible repercussions on the Cyprus problem, Chrysostomides said it was uncertain whether the French dismissal would affect Turkey's EU course, adding that the EU's decision was to commence membership talks with Ankara on October 3.
