BERLIN: German Chancellor Angela Merkel said in remarks released Sunday that Turkey's standoff with the European Union over Cyprus is "very serious" for its aim of joining the bloc.

Merkel, in a newspaper interview, also said Germany will revive plans for an EU constitution when it takes on the union's rotating presidency in January.

My personal opinion is that they have to stop the negotiations for while till Turkey is finnaly making some progress. They are clearely not willing to talk about Cyprus and this and this can't go on.
