Pohvalivši Ankaru zbog njenih napora na normalizaciji odnosa s Armenijom, kao i za njenu nedavno objavljenu inicijativu usmjerenu na rješavanje kurdskog pitanja, EK je Tursku kritizirala za neostvarivanje napretka ka normalizaciji odnosa s Kiprom.
While praising Ankara for its efforts to normalise relations with Armenia, as well as for its recently announced initiative aimed at resolving the Kurdish question, the EC criticised Turkey for failing to make progress towards normalising relations with Cyprus.
