"Condoleezza Rice: Taking the Southern Cypriots into EU was wrong
With Foreign Minister Abdullah Gul having met this week in Washington, DC with US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, as well as President George W. Bush's National Security Advisor Stephen Hadley, observers in Ankara agree that the US has struck a more favorable stance on two matters in particular sensitive to Turkey:
Cyprus and Kirkuk. In the case of Northern Cyprus, for which the US administration has pledged to help lift isolationary economic measures currently in place, US Secretary of State Rice said during Gul's visit to the US capital, 'Accepting Southern Cyprus into the EU was not right. Had the Greek Cypriots not entered the EU, solving this problem would be easier.' "
