    Turkey: There Shouldn't Be Any Expectation From Turkey About
    Recognition Of Greek Cypriot Side

    ANKARA - There should not be any expectation from Turkey about
    recognition of the Greek Cypriot side, Turkish Foreign Ministry
    Spokesman Namik Tan said on Wednesday.

    Tan said in a weekly press conference, ''we have done everything for
    a solution (in Cyprus). There shouldn't be any expectation from
    Turkey. What the other sides have done or will do should be
    considered.''

    The fact that Greek Cypriots had been internationally recognized was
    a reality, Tan said.

    Tan stated that Turkey would continue to recognize Turkish Republic
    of Northern Cyprus (TRNC).

    ''We will consider developments in the following months and we will
    evaluate the issue with all its legal and political aspects,'' Tan
    said.

    When he was recalled about the news that Azerbaijani representatives
    in the Council of Europe Parliamentary Assembly (COEPA) did not join
    the voting on TRNC saying that ''it might cause recognition of Upper
    Karabakh'', Tan said that Azerbaijani representatives had clearly
    stated the reason of their attitude.

    Tan added that Turkey continued to exchange views with Azerbaijani
    authorities on the issue.
