Frustrated by the lack of progress over the Cyprus issue, Turkey's top government officials have repeatedly declared that if there is no solution by July 1st, when Cyprus takes over the rotating EU presidency, Turkey would suspend dialogue with the Union until the following presidency in January 2013.
Isfrustrirani nedovoljnim napretkom oko pitanja Kipra, najviši zvaničnici turske vlade više puta su izjavili da će Turska, ako nema rešenja do 1. jula, kada Kipar preuzima rotirajuće predsedništvo EU, obustaviti dijalog sa Unijom dok predsedavanje ne preuzme druga članica u januaru 2013. godine.
