EU Enlargement Commissioner Requests No Turkey Deadline

EU enlargement commissioner Olli Rehn has requested that the EU not move forward with a deadline for Turkey to open its ports to Cyprus. This is a very old problem and I do not think that a timetable will magically solve it.

Whether or not Turkey becomes a member of the EU, I think the process has done the country a lot of good. There have been many reforms that have opened the country up. The reforms have caused a lot of change and maybe in time will lead to a resolution of the Cypress problem.
