Temporality, Cyprus Problem, and Turkey-EU Relationship August 31, 2009 / Centre for Economics and Foreign Policy Studies


The Turkey-EU relationship is at another critical juncture. The relationship will be reviewed at the EU Summit at the end of 2009, based on the implementation of the Additional Protocol and the normalization of relations with the Republic of Cyprus. This paper examines the two historical periods of Turkey-EU relationship, the periods from 1959 to 1970 and from 1970 to 1999 in order to show the role of the Cyprus problem in the Turkey-EU relationship. It then focuses on the more recent period after the Helsinki Summit of 1999 to show how the Cyprus problem affected Turkey-EU relationship differently from 1999 to 2004 on one hand, and after 2004 on the other. The paper concludes by looking at the implications of the situation in Cyprus today for the Turkey-EU relationship in a changing international context.
