Foreign Minister Emine Çolak interpreted European Commission’s transferring the desk, which has been created for the implementation of the EU Financial Aid Programme and to help the Turkish Cypriots to prepare the EU acquis, to the Structural Reforms Support Services General Secretariat as a gesture and a message.
In her assessments to BRT, Minister Çolak stated that the unit which is running with this task is not new but its connected units have been changed.
Pointing out that the aim of the decision of the European Commission is to enable the process more effectively, Minister Çolak said, “While this decision is taken, the European Commission openly declared that they wished to provide more effectiveness to ongoing works, therefore it is also seen that they will endeavour to fulfil this expectation.”
Minister Çolak also stated that it is needed to wait and see what this decision will actually bring in practice for the Turkish Cypriots.
