STOCKHOLM
Turkey's European Union Minister and Chief Negotiator for accession talks Egemen Bagis met separately with his Swedish counterpart Eva Birgitta Ohlsson Klamberg as well as with International Development and Cooperation Minister Gunilla Carlsson in Stockholm on Thursday.
Bagis also visited Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus' (TRNC) representative office in Stockholm.
Delivering a speech, Bagis said that embargoes and isolations imposed on TRNC could not be accepted.
If Annan plan had been approved, a United Cyprus state could have been one of the most prosperous in the world now, he said.
Greek Cypriots have been suffering from a very serious economic crisis due to their wrong attitude, the EU minister said.
Bagis said If a reasonable government came into power in elections to be held in the Greek Cypriot side in February and this government pursued a right policy, they would support steps that would be taken. "We will support a solution based on a political equality to be approved by TRNC people and Greek Cypriots," he said.
Later Bagis departed from Sweden for Turkey.
