CNA/RG/MM/2000 1935:CYPPRESS:05[05] President Clerides - StatementLarnaca, Dec 8 (CNA) - President Glafcos Clerides has said there are indications that Turkey may have turned a new page in its ties with the European Union but does not expect Ankara to respond to EU calls, as these are set out in the recently agreed partnership agreement, in the next few weeks.The President did not rule out the possibility of seeing the leader of the Turkish Cypriot community Rauf Denktash leave the UN-led proximity talks, if he does not manage to secure his objectives but cautioned against any premature conclusions, adding "let us wait and see." Clerides said Dentkash's policy with regard to the peace effort is proof that there have been no turns for the worse in the peace effort. He also described the convening of the European Conference in Nice Thursday as "very useful" in that candidate countries were made aware of the problems the EU is facing in view of enlargement.
