"MEP urges adoption of Turkish as EU language
By Simon Bahceli
INCLUDING Turkish as an EU language could go a long way to creating a better atmosphere between Greek and Turkish Cypriots, according to Cem Ozdemir, one of the eight Members of the European Parliament (MEP) High Level Contact Group currently in north Cyprus on a fact-finding visit.
Ozdemir made the comments in a telephone conversion with a Turkish Cypriot journalist ahead of the two-day visit.
“It is not clear why Turkish is being blocked. The Cyprus government says it has no objection to Turkish but that the European Commission is not in favour,” Ozdemir said, adding that the German Greens had suggested tabling a proposal the language to be included."
