He also stressed that “we take note of the fact, as it is clear from the statements made by the President of the European Council on behalf of the 27, that Turkey`s actions in the Republic of Cyprus`s EEZ are a European and not exclusively a problem of the Republic of Cyprus” .
“At the same time, it is important that Turkey`s behavior will be reassessed at the European Council summit next March and any decisions in relation to the EU-Turkey Summit in Varna, will be taken on the basis of this assessment, said Nikos Christodoulides.
