Brussels wants Turkey to extend recognition to the Republic of Cyprus, but the idea has been rejected by Turkish leaders, who insist they will only recognise a new partnership state that would be established as a result of peace talks.
Bruxelles želi da Turska prizna Republiku Cipar, no turski su vođe odbacili ovu ideju, te ustraju na tome kako će priznati samo novu državu zasnovanu na partnerstvu, koja bi bila formirana nakon mirovnih pregovora.
