A European Commission report on Turkey highlights Turkey’s refusal to cooperate with the Republic of Cyprus and its insistence on a two-state solution, whilst the Commissioner for Enlargement, Marta Kos, at the same time notes the importance the European Union attaches to the resumption and progress of talks aimed at resolving the Cyprus issue. It is important for Turkey to reaffirm its commitment to the talks, Brussels notes, and calls for the avoidance of unilateral actions that increase tensions and hinder the resumption of talks.
