In response to the EU diplomats' decision, the Turkish foreign ministry issued a statement Wednesday describing as "unfair" their demand that Turkey honour its commitments, while the EU itself has failed to fulfil a pledge it made in April 2004 to remove the "blockade" on the Turkish Cypriot community.
Reagujući na odluku diplomata EU, tursko ministarstvo inostranih poslova u sredu je objavilo saopštenje u kojem se opisuje kao "nepravedan" njihov zahtev da Turska ispoštuje svoje obaveze, dok sama EU nije ispunila obećanje dato u aprilu 2004. da će ukinuti "blokadu" zajednice kiparskih Turaka.
