    [03] Denktash expects EU to postpone Cyprus application

    According to illegal Bayrak radio (1.12.97) Turkish Cypriot leader Rauf Denktash has declared that the so-called "TRNC" expects the EU "not to bow down to Greek blackmail, consider the rights and status stemming from the 1960 agreements in Cyprus, and postpone the Cyprus application."

    Denktash added: "If the Turkish-Greek balance is upset during the EU meeting to be held in Luxembourg on 12 December and the EU doors are closed to Turkey, it will be inevitable to lay the TRNC as a foundation and build the future on this foundation."

    Denktash who concluded his contacts in Istanbul and Germany, explained that he participated in a panel discussion as the guest of an organization established by Turks attending universities in Germany. Denktash said that German parliamentarians who spoke at the panel also stressed that the nonrecognition of the "TRNC" is an "injustice".

    Denktash said that "Cyprus cannot be admitted into the EU as a whole without the consent of the Turkish Cypriots or the membership of Turkey, because for the past 34 years there has not been an institution that represents Cyprus as a whole".

    He added: "The existence of two states is the essence and the reality. If they proceed on the basis of this essence and reality, we can achieve something. If, however, they disregard these realities, as they have been doing until now, they will have sealed this separation."
