Ankara Anatolia news agency (03.03.08) reported the following:
Acting Turkish President and Speaker of the Turkish Parliament, Mr Koksal Toptan said on Monday that Macedonia is one of those countries that understand Turkey well in regard to Cyprus and the fight against terror.

Toptan hosted a dinner in honor of Macedonian Parliament Speaker Ljubisa Georgievski and an accompanying delegation in Ankara on Monday. Those Turks living in Macedonia and citizens of Turkey with Macedonian ethnicity make up a bridge between the two countries. As a result, both countries continue friendly and brotherly relations, Toptan told.

Bilateral relations will be boosted by Georgievski's visit to Turkey. Turkey and Macedonia share cooperation in regional and international relations. Both countries are taking important steps for EU membership. Turkey supports Macedonia's membership in NATO. Turkey supports Macedonia's use of her official name in every opportunity. I will meet Macedonian President in Istanbul in May, Toptan remarked.

Cheers but PS!
YES! I support Macedonia and the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus as well BUT then again I support the Establishment of a Kurdish State within Turkey, Iran and Syria!

AND Cyprus in NATO! I almost forget that one!

Maybe that has something to do with the R o C's failure to recognize the republic of Macedonia by its constitutional name.
