Turkey's PM criticises EU actions over Cyprus
Turkey’s prime minister accused the European Union of not treating the issue of Cyprus fairly but said his country still wants to join the 25-nation bloc and will continue to work to meet the criteria for membership.
Recep Tayyip Erdogan told a news conference yesterday that Greek Cypriots were rewarded with EU membership after voting “no” in April 2004 on a UN-brokered plan to reunify the divided Mediterranean island, while Turkish Cypriots, who voted “yes,” are still being punished.
