Turkey to freeze EU ties if Cyprus gets EU presidency


Comments strongest yet by Ankara over its opposition to Cyprus presidency and could mark start of a new low point in ties between European Union and Turkey

EU-candidate Turkey will freeze relations with the European Union if Cyprus is given the EU presidency in 2012, Deputy Prime Minister Besir Atalay was quoted as saying by state-run news agency Anatolian late on Saturday.


The comments were the strongest yet by Ankara over its opposition to the Cyprus presidency and could mark the start of a new low point in ties between the European Union and Turkey which began accession talks to the bloc in 2005.
