Abstract

This aıticle analyses the EU's approach towards the Cyprus issue. it argues that the European Union (EU) has not effectively used its stick and carrot instrument tor Cyprus's accession to the EU, in order to exert pressure on the involved paıties. That is, the EU has not been entirely consistent in applying condition of good neighbourliness to the Cyprus case. Thus, the EU has been less effective at influencing policy development in Cyprus than it might have been, had it pursued a consistent policy. The second contention of tHis article is that there has also been an inconsistency betvveen security motivation of the EU's enlargement policy, which is to create stability throughout Europe, and its policy towards Cyprus. in fact, the EU could not only bring Cyprus's internal security problems into the EU, but also severely undermine regional security iri Eastern Mediterranean. This is because if the EU accepted Cyprus as a member without a politicat settlement, it would not only lead to tension in Eastern Mediterranean, but also undermine security co-operation between the EU and Turkey, a country that has an important role to play in European security.

Özet

Bu çalışmada, Avrupa Birliği'nin (AB) Kıbrıs sorununa yaklaşımı, tam üyelik siyasi kriterlerinden olan "iyi komşuluk ilişkileri" çerçevesi içerisinde incelenmiştir. Makalede, Avrupa Birliği'nin Güney Kıbrıs Rum Yönetimine karşı, Birliğin genişleme politikasının koşullu üyelik prensibini oluşturan "ceza/ödüllendirme" araçlarını etkin bir şekilde kullanmadığı ileri sürülmektedir. AB'nin "iyi komşuluk ilişkileri" koşulunu Güney Kıbrıs Rum Yönetimine karşı tutarlı bir şekilde uygulamaması, Birliğin Kıbrıs sorununun çözümü konusundaki etkinliğini yitirmesine neden olmuştur. Çalışmada ileri sürülen diğer bir sav ise, AB'nin Güney Kıbrıs Rum Yönetimine uyguladığı koşulsuz üyelik stratejisinin, Birliğin Avrupa Kıtasında istikrar ve güven oluşturma prensipleriyle çeliştiği görüşüdür.
