Turkish Cypriot politician, Mustafa Akinci, has urged Ankara to implement the constitutional reforms it has adopted and help resolve the Cyprus question, if it wants to secure a date for the start of accession negotiations with the European Union (EU), the Cyprus News Agency reported Wednesday.  

 

"I cannot imagine a situation in which Turkey is edging closer to the European Union and Greco-Turkish ties are developing further but the Cyprus problem remains unresolved," Akinci told London Greek Radio (LGR) in an interview. (Albawaba.com)
