Turkey suspends EU human rights dialogue in CNN interview
Prime Minister Mesut Yilmaz says Turkey has suspended political dialog with the European Union over rights issues and disputes with Greece and Cyprus. The EU earlier excluded Turkey from a list of potential new members, citing concerns about human rights and the wariness of its army presence in Cyprus. Turkey maintains current agreements with the EU and continues to seek cooperation with Western powers.
