Should "Greek Cypriot Administration of Southern Cyprus" receive a Presidency term in the EU, Turkey will freeze relations with the EU for 6 months, said Turkish MP from Nationalist Movement Party Sinan Ogan to Caucasus Journalists Network online conference on Monday.

“This discourse is absolutely realistic in Turkey,” he said.

Meanwhile Ogan believes Turkey would enter the EU in the long run.

“Of course, Turkey has a chance to access EU. But I do not expect that it will be realized in a short term. Turkey is the world’s 16th and Europe’s 6th biggest economy. The EU is Turkey’s 1st and Turkey is EU’s 7th biggest trade partner. Thus, in the term that EU economies are struggling with the economic crisis, Turkey has always a chance to access the EU with its sound economy. But some countries like France have an attitude against Turkey. Besides, Turkey does not have the same spirit now in its relations with the EU if compared with the past,” Ogan added.
