"2008 will be decision year for Cyprus problem
JUST three-and-and-a-half years after becoming a member of the EU, Cyprus today joins the eurozone. This is a big feather in the cap of the Papadopoulos government, for whom EU membership has been marked by political bickering with its partners over the Cyprus problem.
Its belief that membership would enable it to turn the screw on Turkey has proved monumentally misguided as it has seen its partners consistently siding with Ankara whenever it had tried to do so.
The unsolved Cyprus problem is considered a major nuisance by the European Commission, which is quite clearly fed up of the government’s obstructive tactics in the Union’s dealings with Turkey."
