"Cypriot President pledges to continue cooperating in Turkey's EU path
16/11/2005
President Tassos Papadopoulos said the Republic of Cyprus will continue to cooperate within the framework of Turkey's accession negotiations and expressed hope that Turkey will rise to the challenge and will prove to be a reliable partner throughout its accession process and later within the Union.
President Papadopoulos made the statement during the presentation of the credentials of the new Ambassador of the Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg, stationed in Athens, Conrad Bruch.
Presenting his credentials, Bruch said both the Republic of Cyprus itself and the European Union have gained a lot through the accession of the Republic of Cyprus to the European Union.
'It remains vital for the overall success of the European integration process that also the smaller member states can continue to make their voices heard and defend their rightful interests,' he said."
