“The United States strongly supports Turkey’s membership in the European Union. That’s not for us to decide. It is obviously for the union itself,” U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton stated in an interview with BBC.“EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Catherine Ashton has been especially active in working with Turkey, as I have. So I believe that we are both committed to enhancing our engagement with Turkey,” she said, stressing Turkey is becoming a much greater regional and global presence.
“Turkey’s position for me is a very important one. They are a partner, in many cases, as we work together to look at some of the challenges we face regionally and internationally.And so from the perspective of looking at external relations, when I look at the countries with whom I need to have a strong relationship, Turkey is clearly one for the reasons that Hillary has well expressed,” Ashton noted. According to her, Turkey is a candidate country, however, it is a long-term and challenging route to get to EU membership in any event.

ΑπάντησηΔιαγραφήIn 1974, Turkish armed forces invaded Cyprus, capturing 36 percent of its territory, partitioning the island, and leading to the declaration of the northern Turkish Republic of Cyprus in 1983. This act of war and premeditated aggression was taken by an American ally and NATO member-country. At the time of the invasion the United States, whose foreign policy was considerably under Secretary of State Henry Kissinger’s stewardship, supplied Turkey with arms and perhaps funding. In supporting Turkey, the Nixon administration was sending a message of enmity to Archbishop Makarios’s government that directed Cyprus along non-aligned lines in the Cold War conflict between the two superpowers. Kissinger punished Makarios, demonstrated Soviet impotence, and sent a message of friendship to the Muslim world.
