Cyprus ponders possibility of using its veto against Turkey in European Council

Cyprus is considering the possibility of using its veto against Turkey in the European Council.

According to Cypriot President Nicos Anastasiades, there can be no solution in favor of a positive agenda regarding Turkey’s relations with the EU, while Ankara insists on a two-state solution to the Cyprus issue.

Turkey’s position on the solution of the Cyprus issue on the principle of two states is a leap into the void. This is a position that is not accepted by either the international community or the European Union and completely goes beyond the mandate of the UN Secretary General, said Anastasiades.

According to him,  the rejection of Turkey’s position by the international community or the EU is not accidental.
