"Cyprus welcomes AKP reprieve in Turkey
By Jean Christou
CYPRUS yesterday welcomed a decision in Turkey not to ban the ruling AKP party, saying it would bode better for new Cyprus negotiations due to get underway next month.
Foreign Minister Markos Kyprianou said the outcome of the month-long political crisis in Turkey, which could have seriously impacted on Cyprus, was positive.
Speaking after a meeting with the heads of the diplomatic missions in Nicosia, Kyprianou said any political crisis in Turkey that could result in the strengthening of the military establishment would hinder the process for the solution of the Cyprus problem."
