Strasbourg. The EU Parliament discovered two problems of Turkey after yesterday's session of the EU Parliament. This comes only five days before the start of the accession talks between Turkey and Cyprus on 3rd October, Politis newspaper reports.
The EU Parliament reminded for the Turkish duties concerning Cyprus in connection with the recognition of the country and Turkey's acknowledgement of the genocide against Armenian people. “If Ankara doesn’t recognize Nicosia as soon as possible, that will have serious consequences on the pre-accession procedures between Turkey and the EU that could lead even to their ceasing”, the newspaper adds."
