Speaking on Wednesday following a meeting with UK Prime Minister Tony Blair, Turkish PM Tayyip Erdogan reiterated that the signing of a protocol extending an existing customs agreement to the ten new EU member states would not imply a recognition of Cyprus, despite speculation on the matter.
Turkey had been expected to sign the protocol on Wednesday, and subscribing to the agreement has been made a condition of the commencement of Turkey's membership negotiations.
Speaking to reporters earlier this week, Erdogan announced that:
"There will be no change on the recognition question until there is a settlement."
An official declaration on the matter is expected soon.
