The launch of Turkey's talks with the European Union (EU) continues to
receive widespread media coverage in Europe.
A story appeared in Greek Cypriot newspaper Fileleftheros, with the headline
"Rapprochement Through Pressure," saying that Britain is blackmailing the
Greek Cypriots "politically" to recognize the Turkish Republic of Northern
Cyprus (TRNC) in dense lobbying activities in Luxembourg.
Britain has pressured more on the authority of the Greek Cyprus to
emasculate the importance of talks regarding Turkey's responsibilities
towards the Greek Cypriots in accordance with the Negotiation Framework
Document through the enlightening statement of the presidency, it was
claimed.
The newspaper also reported that with pressures increasing after an
agreement was reached with Austria, the Greek Cypriot authority feared that
it might be left alone; therefore, it agreed to the "enlightening statement"
of Britain.
In the meantime, Armenian hopes have risen for the opening of its border
with Turkey and the acknowledgement of the "genocide" allegations after
Turkey was allowed to negotiate with the EU.
The Armenian opinion of the negotiation start is that Turkey will feel
compelled to open its borders with Armenia as soon as possible, said
Armenian Foreign Ministry spokesman Hamlet Gasparyan.
The Armenian government hopes for Turkey's acknowledgement of the Armenian
genocide while negotiations are in progress, Gasparyan asserted in
connection with the allegations of Armenian genocide.
