While a separate, simultaneous, referendum on the same question seems sure to win widespread approval in the Turkish north of the island, a Greek Cypriot veto is enough to foil the plan and put its government at loggerheads with the diplomatic community.
James Kerlindsay, a Cyprus analyst, said: "It's not just the opposition of the Greek Cypriot government that has angered the international community.
Moderates in the Turkish administration responded, at some risk to their standing among the country's hardliners, but now seem certain to gain little reward for their efforts and Turkish accession talks may have to be shelved.

James Ker-Lindsay, an expert on Turkish-Greek relations, is based in Nicosia as Executive Director of Civilitas Research, an independent think tank.
I think the Greek Cypriots thought that they thought they would go to Switzerland, that they would be able to make some substantial changes, get some advantage out of the plan and then come back and start the Yes campaign in earnest.
