Cyprus will veto a planned EU-Turkey deal on refugees unless Ankara recognises the country’s Greek Cypriot government, President Nicos Anastasiades told euronews in an interview on Thursday.

The draft agreement says that for each Syrian returned, a Syrian in Turkey would be resettled in an EU country.
In return, the EU says it will look to speed up Turkey’s EU
membership talks and could offer up to 6 billion euros in financial aid
for Syria refugees in Turkey.
