ANKARA, Jan 7 (A.A) - Foreign Minister Ismail Cem said on Monday that Turkey closely followed all developments about Cyprus.
Responding to a question with notice presented to him by AK Party deputy Ramazan Toprak, Cem said that Turkey takes all sorts of initiatives to protect the rights and interests of TRNC and Turkey.
Cem said that his ministry closely monitored the preparations about the report titled ''Greek Cypriot Administration's Membership Application to EU and The Process of Negotiations'' which was adopted in the European Parliament General Assembly on September 5. Cem said that Jacques Poos who prepared the report, was known as being against Turkey and being sympathetic towards the Greek Cypriot side. The report was published in such a negative stance in spite of all the warnings and initiatives of Turkey, Cem said.
Foreign Ministry fulfilled regularly the mission of informing the public opinion about all foreign policy issues including the Cyprus issue, said Cem.
