NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said that Cyprus issue should be solved in order to advance NATO-EU cooperation.
In a press conference, Rasmussen called on all sides in Cyprus to advance, find a solution and unite the island.
There are many things that were risked in economic aspect, and parties will be better off by reuniting, Rasmussen added.
