Finland, which currently holds EU presidency, has put a deadline
before Turkey to open its ports to Cypriot ships starting on December
1 otherwise the EU will suspend accession talks with the country.

Matti Vanhanen, Finland’s prime minister, underscored that the "Turkish
issue" won’t be on the EU summit slated on December 14-15 and that
"decision should be taken before that date."

In PM’s words, Finland will expect Turkey’s reply "in the first
week of December". Unless ports and airports open to Cyprus, the EU
will reconsider "the consequences of the step for Turkey" by closing
accession talks.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
