"Greek, Cyprus leaders to set Turkey stance
French gov’t document leaked
Cypriot President Tassos Papadopoulos is due in Athens next Thursday for urgent talks with Prime Minister Costas Karamanlis aimed at establishing a common stance on Turkey's accession to the European Union before the EU starts debating the issue later this month, Karamanlis's office said yesterday.
Meanwhile, Cypriot Foreign Minister George Iakovou confirmed the existence of a French government document - leaked yesterday by Cypriot television channel Sigma - which stresses the need for Turkey to recognize Cyprus before it can embark on accession talks with the EU. The document is believed to have been sent to the governments of all member states."
