The first stroke comes during Council of Europe meeting: Foreign Ministry officials are shocked to hear the PM telling the Greek Cypriot leader that the 'Annan plan would not be the basis' for future negotiations on Cyprus
The second stroke is more open: Talking about his recent forays into the Armenian issue, Erdogan associates his 'successful' policy with 'not listening to Foreign Ministry bureaucrats'
