EU tells Turkey not to threaten Cyprus
None
The European Union told Turkey on Friday not to issue threats against Cyprus after Turkish Prime Minister's Tayyip Erdogan questioned the validity of oil exploration contracts granted by the divided island.
"The EU urges Turkey to refrain from any kinds of threats, sources of friction that could negatively affect good neighbourly relations and the peaceful settlement of border disputes," a spokeswoman for the EU's foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton told reporters. (Reuters)
