European Envoy Tells Ankara All of Cyprus Is in the EU
Original: European Envoy Sends Message to Ankara: “We Must Not Forget That the Whole of Cyprus Is Part of the EU and That Turkish Cypriots Are EU Citizens”
A European envoy has sent a pointed message to Ankara, stating that the whole of Cyprus is part of the European Union and that Turkish Cypriots are EU citizens. The remark underscores the EU's long-standing position that, despite the island's division since 1974 and the Turkish Cypriot north being outside effective EU control, its entire territory formally acceded to the bloc in 2004, keeping reunification talks on the agenda.
Why now: Renewed diplomatic tension over the divided island and Turkey's relationship with the EU puts the status of Cyprus back in the spotlight.
