Prema riječima Talata, koji zaostaje u anketama, takav ishod naškodio bi i kandidaturi Turske za EU i odnosima između Atine i Ankare, kao i omeo ekonomski rast Kipra.
According to Talat, who is behind in the polls, such an outcome would also harm Turkey's EU bid and relations between Athens and Ankara, as well as hamper Cyprus's economic growth.
