Ak\u0131nc\u0131 said that January will be a turning point for Cyprus, and that \u201cWe hope to link this to a positive outcome and to lead the development of a new understanding in the region. Let us focus on the bigger picture \u2013 if the natural gas around Cyprus is combined with Israeli gas, I think it can be used to meet the needs of both Turkey and the EU, via Cyprus and Turkey. It will create a great opportunity for cooperation. This is not just a personal assessment; I believe that the EU and Turkey think in the same way.\u201d<\/p>\n
