By JERUSALEM POST STAFF
Italy's President President Giorgio Napolitano said on Tuesday that the island of Cyprus must be reunited before Turkey is allowed to join the European Union.
Napolitano made the remarks while on a three-day official visit to Greece.
Rival Cypriot leaders are currently holding reunification talks on the Mediterranean island which has been divided since a Turkish invasion in 1974.
Napolitano, who holds a largely ceremonial post, made the comments after talks with Greek President Karolos Papoulias.
