Almost three-quarters of Greek Cypriots believe slow-moving talks with breakaway Turkish Cypriots will not lead to a deal reunifying the ethnically divided island in the next year according to a poll published last week.
The GNORA/RAI poll in the Phileleftheros newspaper also showed that 67 percent of respondents reject Turkey’s full European Union membership.
Some 71 percent believe EU-member Cyprus should block Turkey’s ascension into the EU if it doesn’t open ports and airports to Cypriot traffic.
Reunification talks resumed in September, but little tangible progress has been made.
The poll used a random sample of 623 adults with a three percent error margin.
