"Member of EP Figel: The Commission will continue to its effort to finding a solution to universities in TRNC
Dear Mrs Bozkurt,
Thank you for your letter of II January 2007 concerning the exclusion of Northern Cyprus Universities from Erasmus Socrates.
In principle, Turkish Cypriots are - with some limitations due to the division of the island and the suspension of the acquis in the northern part -- eligible to participate in the educational and youth community programmes. Nonetleless, so far Turkish Cypriot universities, not being recognized by the Republic of Cyprus, their students could not take part in Erasmus programme. The Commission will continue to raise this issue with the authorities of the Republic of Cyprus with a view to finding a solution to this problem."
