The Cyprus issue can only be resolved within a United Nations framework, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan reiterated during a press conference held jointly with Turkish-Cypriot leader Mehmet Ali Talat here on Saturday.
All sides must support the efforts of UN Secretary General Kofi Annan, he said, adding that Cyprus' EU accession cannot serve as an excuse for the Greek-Cypriot side's rigid stance.
Erdogan noted that the Cyprus issue cannot stand in the way of Turkey's EU accession. "
