Saturday, September 9, 2006
French Interior Minister Nicholas Sarkozy yesterday called for the suspension of Turkey's membership talks with the European Union unless Ankara changes its stance on Cyprus.
Sarkozy, a front-runner for next year's French presidential election, called for a break in accession talks while Ankara continues to insist on not opening up its seaports and airports to Greek Cyprus while sanctions imposed on the Turkish Cypriots remain in place. "
