Turkey ready to sign customs union, including Cyprus
by Lisbeth Kirk
March 30 2005

Turkey is ready to sign the protocol extending its customs union with the European Union to the ten new member states, including Cyprus, Ankara has confirmed in a letter sent to the European Commission. The signing of the protocol is a key condition before Turkey can start accession talks with the EU on 3 October... However, Turkish Foreign Minister Abdullah Gul stressed that extending the protocol would in no way signify Turkish recognition of the Cypriot government... In Nicosia, government spokesman Kypros Chryssostomidis pointed out that the signature would allow Cypriot aircraft to enter Turkish airspace and Cypriot-flagged ships access to Turkish ports... This is of particular importance to Cyprus - which has the EU’s third largest fleet. Turkey banned Cypriot ships from its ports in 1987.
