Turkish Cypriot side hits out on Cyprus’ EU accession

The Turkish Cypriot side has on Wednesday hit out at Cyprus being inducted to EU saying that it as “an unjust and historic mistake”.

According to a statement from the ‘foreign ministry’, “The EU is the only one responsible for the continued impasse on the island”.

The ‘ministry’ said: “Today marks 20 years since the injustice and historical mistake committed by the EU against the Turkish Cypriot people”, adding that the Greek Cypriot side “illegally and unilaterally became a full member of the EU”.
